what do you mean? did you look through this thread from the beginning? the first message:

Enlightenment (DR-16 and DR-17) - openSUSE Forums

is about to disclose the available repositories. packages are available for x86 and x86-64 (default OBS schema). if you're asking about LiveCD - don't see any reason to use x86-64 on a Desktop PC. still no Flash support for x86-64, weak support for dmo/dshow multimedia codecs and other disadvantages as well (x86-64 is nothing else but Marketing). i hope that soon we'll make a package "Enlightenment LiveCD" and you can make your x86-64 with a single command.

Hi Dmitry,

Just wanted to say that I have been following your good efforts promoting Enlightenment. I am very curious to see & use the LiveCD.

Keep up the good work!

Cheers,
Wj

Pardon my ignorance. However, I found out that the latest stable release of
Enlightenment, i.e. v16 was released in 1999 when 64-bit systems were not
so commonplace as today. I looked up for bundled rpms and found that 32-bit
rpms are available. That's why I asked about the support for 64-bit.

I found Enlightenment to be a good concept and would like to work on it.
However, first I just wanted to have a feel of the environment.

Thank you.

I tried your repository and got the following message.

There are no installable providers of Enlightenmnent_environment for pattern:Enlightenment-DR17 Desktop Shell Environment-.noarch[openSUSE_10.3_3]

Please suggest.

Thank you

Sorry, was a kind of busy last week.

1) I'd recommend to use this repo even if you're running openSUSE-10.3:

Index of /repositories/home:/dmitry_serpokryl:/Enlightenment-cvs-core-metapackage

You will find there x86 and x86-64 packages for E16 and E17. Anyway please post here any questions.

2) "There are no installable providers of Enlightenmnent_environment" - how did you get this warning? Did you install via "One-Click"? Which repo did you use?

Thanks.

Please, look through our modest Wiki page and advise if any additions are needed:

Enlightenment for openSUSE - openSUSE

Thanks,
regards.

During my "play with Linux for 2 weeks, then walk away from it for 6 months" period, which was a cycle for years, Enlightenment was always on my list of things to try. I've been out of that cycle for about a year and half, and am near 100% linux now -- but I kinda forgot about Enlightenment until something today reminded me of it. I was happy to see your post here when I searched the forum!

So, I've installed E17 via the instructions on your wiki page, but when I log in to an Enlightenment session, my wirless card doesn't connect, and I can't figure out where or how to make it connect.

Could you give me a nudge?

5 minutes was enough to make me realize why screenshots of Enlightenment don't do it justice. *nice* and unusual!

Thanks for any info!
