-Enlightenment does not check for previously running Window Managers right

 If you update Enlightenment from CVS update these too to get any changes they

-If you plan on working on the code... STOP! don't rush in and work on it -
-even if you have CVS commit access - EXPECT me (Raster) to revert any changes
-you make if you do this - regardless of the changes and how much work you
-put into them. First read the code well and LEARN it. If you have questions
-about some of the more obscure hidden program flow - ASK - but don't go
-tampering with it - Enlightenment 0.17's code is much more complex and
-intricate than E 0.16 - but at the same time it's much cleaner and more
-object oriented. Learn it well first. Some parts of E 0.17 are "hacked" with
-hard-coded stuff, just so, for now, it works. They will be virtualized and
-imporved over time. If you have plans - tell me about them first - discuss

-have a lot of the components of E 0.17's code planned in my head - but I 
-won't get to them for a while - and if people go impliment or hack bad stuff 
-in, it means I have to spend lots of time fixing something that is bad in the 
-first place, or we end up doing duplicate work. There *IS* a plan - believe 
-it or not - but to be honest - it's more complex and large than I can just 
-write down in a README, so talk about your ideas first. I'm going to be 
-ruthless in keeping the code neat, clean and free of nasty hacks (except ones 
-I put in as temporary stop-gap measures to make the thing work - since I know 
-where those are and what I need to do to do it right). If you can't find me 
-or I don't reply to your e-mail - don't get impatient - just wait. I currently
-have no network access at home, so I'm doing a chunk of code offline. I'll
-get to your mail and queries as time allows.
-
-If you have problems with the code or bugs to report, kindly forward them to
-/dev/null (the code is in now way or form ready for bug reports - I don't
-want crap filling my mailbox), unless its a patch hat fixes a silly bug
-somewhere. Only experienced people should in any way consider sending a bug
-report as I need useful reports, not junk cluttering my mailbox.
-
-I hope that clears things up for now.

-In the meantime - have fun.
+If you want to compile & install E 0.17 you probably install the packages 
+Enlightenment needs in this order:
+
+  (*) imlib2
+  (*) edb
+  (*) imlib2_loaders
+  (*) evas
+  (*) ebits
+  (*) ecore
+  (*) efsd
+  (*) ferite (optional for now, but recommended)
+  (*) e17
+
+since you got Enlightenment from CVS (if you didn't you should have) you must
+get all of the above from CVS - because the libraries Enlightenment depends on
+keep being updated as bugs are found and new features needed - and often they
+are not released for a while until things settle down, so make sure you get
+the latest of these from CVS.
+
+before you start installing the some of the above, some of the packages you
+will need - if you don't already have them, are:
+
+  (*) freetype (1.1, 1.2 or 1.3 ... NOT 2.0)
+  (*) libxml2
+  (*) libpcre
+  (*) fam
+
+and possibly ...
+
+  (*) libjpeg
+  (*) libpng
+  (*) zlib
+  (*) libtiff
+  (*) libungif
