Im just in the process of trying out the new 0.17v of enlightenment ..how do I g about removing the previous version installed once I ve finished setting up the new one ...if I "emerge -C enlightenment " will it remove only the version installed with portage or will it remove the new version as well?????(theres no ebuild available for 0.17 yet)......

any info would be appreciated....

Hi swishy,

A word of advice, I'd really recommend installing e17 into somewhere you can easily find it/change it/get rid of it later (eg /usr/local/e17) because it's cvs and often changing. You might have to add /usr/local/e17/bin to your path (and possibly ../lib to your ld.so.conf) but it'll make things a _lot_ easier later on. Also this way, you should be able to install both e16.5 and e17 along side each other.

Here's a few links that might also help.

Good luck,
have a nice day.
