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.
c - Installing OzOs Goodness via Atitude as a text user interface (TUI)
To start the Aptitude TUI, open the Xfce menu and select Debian>Applications>System>Administration>Aptitude.
I must admit, I'm no fan of Aptitude, cli or TUI. Ergo, I really do not know the best way to use either, but here goes. Once aptitude is opened, hit the foward slash "/" for the search function. Enter oz & hit "OK".
One now has to work their way through the "New Packages" section looking for all the OzOs e17 stuff. Here is a list of what to look for;
oz-bgextras-ga1 - 6 e17 BG images - green
oz-bgextras-ga1 - 6 e17 BG images - green
oz-bgextras-pa1 - 6 e17 BG images - purple
oz-bgextras-ra1 - 6 e17 BG images - red
oz-desktop-extras - Extra tools for the OzOS desktop system
oz-e17-tools - OzOS enlightenment desktop tools
oz-gdm-themes - Oz GDM themes
usplash-theme-oz - Usplash theme for Oz OS
e17-svn - Enlightenment (e17) from SVN.
e17-themes - Themes for Enlightenment (e17) from source or any other version that installs on /opt/e17/ path.
e17-themes-extra - Extra themes for Enlightenment (e17) from cvs or any other that installs on /opt/e17/ path.
oz-desktop - OzOS desktop system
oz-desktop-base - Basic OzOS desktop system
oz-gnome-desktop - The Gnome desktop system (Ubuntu based)
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".
In order to select what to install highlight the application and then hit the "+" (plus) key. Arrow down to the next application to install and so forth.
Hit the "g" key to download, and hit it again to confirm.
Knowing that oz-desktop-base & oz-desktop are problematic I split them out during my aptitude install. They still did not install, I had to use APT from the command line to get them to install.
Just a wee snap of aptitude doing what it's supposed to.
Easy_e17 called via Aptitude just doing the voodoo it does.
