Installing OzOs Goodness via Atitude & the command line

WARNING: I use some very powerful (ie potentially destructive) tools as root. Please be careful! You have been warned!

While I'm at it, you're playing in the Big Leagues now, sort out your own root privileges.

Please note: If you are new to Linux or are not comfortable using the command line, tough, get over it, this is linux after all, and I use the command line. However the management at OzOs suggest some pictures of bunnies, a good (legal) calmative or perhaps a long bath with a few drops of lavender oil, if need be before you proceed.

The most incredible and really unbelievable dream has become true:
You compiled e17 successfully!
Starting e17:
If you're using a login manager (GDM/KDM), select the session type 'Enlightenment' in them.
Rasterman didn't write this script so don't ask him for help with it.
We hope you will enjoy your trip into e17... Have fun!

The package oz-gnome-desktop is not needed for anything e17 or OzOS related. It is just a metapackage for Ubuntu users whom may want to have both e17 and gnome. It is made lighter then the ubuntu-desktop which is on offer for Ubuntu users. So, it's not in fact meant to be installed as part of these instructions.
As of 19 Jan 09, oz-desktop-base & oz-desktop failed to install on the first Aptitude attempt, but were able to build with a follow up "apt-get install oz-desktop-base".
