Ok, I did the apt-get thingy and installed Enlightenment, which got my Enlightenment, enlightenment-data, fnlib0 and that's all I needed. Now, it works http://www.linuxnewbie.org/ubb/smile.gif -- But I'm having problems using/getting epplets. I mean... they (one way or another) find something they can't do or compile with. Now, Enlightenment is all nice and pretty, but without some of these epplets, it looses it's functionality pretty quickly (like no clock, etc).

I tried getting the epplets-base off of the enlightenment servers, but it says that Imlib wasn't found/properly linked, and when I do a locate Imlib it finds it fine ( /usr/lib/libImlib.so.1 )

I really need help getting these things installed, 'cause I really wanna use E, but without that simple functionality, I might just ditch it all and go back to pure gnome/sawfish.

Q: How many existentialists does it take to screw in a lightbulb?
A: Two. One to screw it in and one to observe how the lightbulb itself symbolizes a single incandescent beacon of subjective reality in a netherworld of endless absurdity reaching out toward a maudlin cosmos of nothingness.

Ok Nathan, try this. Just make sure you have an entry on your sources.list for the unstable tree in debian.

# apt-get install epplets

After that you'll have to do a regenerate menus and it should be ok.

Spooky, I just saw the epplets .deb when I was messing around with my semi-updated sources.list http://www.linuxnewbie.org/ubb/biggrin.gif thank you kindly though ... now I have more epplets than I know what to do with (or to tastefully do with)
