I have packaged entrance as well as f.ex. e_modules and e_utils, but look for yourself: Either directly at: ftp://ftp.mandrivauser.de/rpm/extra/2007/e17/RPMS or you can set that up as an urpmi repository.
Oh and regarding to entrance, now i rememeber what i had to change: ecore_config -c /etc/entrance_config.cfg -k /entranced/xserver -s "/usr/bin/X -quiet -nolisten tcp vt7" because x binaries are kept at /usr/bin instead of /usr/X11R6/bin and i called entrance from runlevel 3 with this command: /etc/init.d/entrance start* * Kind Regards Florian Hubold ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
