I plan on starting with the minimal cd. I just wondered if anyone has a standard list of stuff I'll need to make a basic Enlightenment desktop, so I don't just end up crashing because I'm missing a dependency. Thanks!
I don't think you need much more than X. If you compile it from source you need the things which are needed for compiling...of course. Debian, deselect environment during tasksel, install xorg; ready, go.
Ok, ok: after installing X i install fluxbox and a web-browser, so i may copy and paste what i need.
The last time i checked the e17-version of Sid was usuable, but it misses a lot of the emodules.
I wouldn't use it on a daily basis. As said: its a few weeks ago, things change fast.
