Which version of Étoilé are you installing? 0.4.1 release or a  
development version such as trunk or stable?

Which install script?
If you referrring to this script: 
<http://svn.gna.org/viewcvs/etoile/trunk/Etoile/LiveCD/Subscripts/ubuntu-install-etoile.sh
 
 >
This script is only available in the current trunk of the svn  
repository and it needs testing I think.
I doubt you can use it to install the 0.4.1 release.

It looks like you are installing the 0.4.1 release, however it's a  
developer oriented-release which doesn't include everything. e.g. no  
window manager (Azalea) or session manager (System aka etoile_system)  
are installed.
The setup.sh script that comes with this release doesn't handle these  
missing pieces very well. It installs what is is available in the  
release and reports warning for everything else.

This developer-oriented release is mainly interesting if you want to  
investigate our core frameworks such as EtoileFoundation, LanguageKit,  
MediaKit, CoreObject etc. or you want to experiment with Étoilé  
Smalltalk. A user-oriented release (numbered 0.5) is planned for later  
this year. This one will be a closer to a real desktop environment.

You need to check out and build the svn repository trunk if you want  
to test the entire user environment. Alternatively you can try the  
VirtualBox image.
For explanations related to these two choices: http://etoileos.com/downloads/
For detailed instructions about installing trunk: 
http://etoileos.com/downloads/install/ 
  and http://etoileos.com/downloads/install/ubuntu/

It's important to know that the user visible part of the environment  
is currently not very polished, and isn't going to be a major focus  
before the 0.5 release. For now, we are focused on finishing the core  
frameworks/libraries of the project. Which means the user-visible part  
is lagging behind.

Cheers,
Quentin.
