Anybody have any FAQ,TIPS,Recipes on how to get E.16 up under fedora core 2 ? I truly HATE the default Metacity WM. I would like to have E and Gnome. I had this running under 7.3 Redhat but things have changed quite alot with Fedora. Other then the Window manager, I like fedora alot and I am not afraid to poke at it. I am running 2.6.7 kernel and I am quite impressed with it except for the brain dead window manager. :'( Thanks. -- The only constancy is change itself. ra...@mo... -- Fredrick P.

Install the latest E16 rpms on sf.net and in your ~/.Xclients-default make sure you have the following lines: ------------------------------- exec gnome-settings-daemon & exec /usr/bin/enlightenment ------------------------------- It should be straightforward to get it running on FC2. :-) If you encounter any specific problems, you can get back to me.

When I load it before E, then all the preferences I've set for gnome remains while I use E.. With kind regards, Didier. --- PhD student.

Had to build fnlib because I was too lazy to play with the spec file so it wasn't needed. Other than that, just install it, the epplets, and make yourself a .Xclients-default file in your home directory with the last line being something along the lines of: exec /usr/bin/enlightenment At least, that works for me. -- In Reach Technology: http://inreachtech.net/ Robert G.

Metacity respawns too fast. After this worked exit the Gnome-Session with save or exec gnome-session-save. But before close all windows you don't like to be reopened next login. Hope this works... regards Andreas |
