Installing Ubuntu Mini with e17

[PremiumG]

e17, full name Enlightenment version 17, is a lightweight desktop environment.


As for those deb lines, like Bucky Ball suggested, put them at the end of /etc/apt/sources.list . But they provide a PPA, so don't go through the pain of manually editing the file and do this:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:hannes-janetzek/enlightenment-svn

How do I add it to the end of that though? Also, when I put that command I get

sudo: add-apt-repository: command not found

I'm presuming you have apt installed ...

Wben doing the minimal install it is always a good idea to research then make a list of what you are going to need installed prior to beginning. You can then install everything as part of the process. This includes essential stuff, like apt, and apps you use regularly. You will also need gcc somewhere along the line.

Just a note...

Jeff Hoogland over at Bodhi Linux gave some instructions (I think) about how to install E17 in Ubuntu. Bodhi Linux 2.0 uses E17 and is based on Ubuntu 12.04.

You might have to dig around bodhilinux.com a bit to find it.

Thank you for your straightforward answer, a rare thing to find on linux help forums... I will begin my search once I get off work. Until then, I will have to settle with Bodhi.

sudo: add-apt-repository: command not found

That is wrong command.It should be

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:hannes-janetzek/enlightenment-svn

EDIT: You can try Bodhi linux if you want.E17 is very well integrated there.

the command add-apt-repository is not included in the mini install

sudo apt-get install python-software-properties
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:hannes-janetzek/enlightenment-svn
sudo apt-get update
