This is exactly the sort of thing I'm aiming at: essentially a cheat-sheet for people to relatively quickly just throw together an Arch install with all the basics in place, ideally in a VM or on a spare machine for testing and playing with. It certainly won't be a big/serious guide, and definitely not for people looking to install directly on daily use hardware: for that, people need to do the work themselves, practice on a VM/spare first and know full well what they're getting into before they start nuking partitions. As for enlightenment, I just did: sudo pacman -Sy enlightenment17 And that was it - I already have GDM installed as the greeter and it automatically picked up the new DE when I logged in locally. I should point out that it does frequently SIGSEV in the couple of minutes I spent poking around in it. Are you doing anything unusual, like running it out of .xinitrc or have any other weird/funky configurations elsewhere on the system? Cheers Looks like I should actually get on with this Arch guide then... -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/listfaq
