Somehow I saw that coming :) > 1) what's the basic difference between Orobors and Enlightenment? Enlightenment is one of many window managers that can be run on top of any version of X-Windows, no matter what platform X is in turn running on. That is, you can run it on XDarwin, Linux, Solaris, Cygwin, etc. OroborOSX [note the spelling] is an all-in-one MacOSX application that includes a fully functional X-Windows program, and is integrated with the native Aqua display manager as tightly as possible. OroborOSX uses the Oroborus [note spelling again] X11 window manager, because it has a theme that closely resmbles Aqua, but other themese are also available. OroborOSX does not, as far as I know, support using other window managers like for example Enlightenment, but then that's kind of the point: with OroborOSX, users don't *need* to manually set up separate components alongside X11, because it's all bundled in a single, double-clickable application package that, with one eye closed and looking through a frosted pane of glass, could almost pass for "native" Aqua. > 2) I assume files already installed via a previous installation (say, of > a Fink product) will not be duplicated? Not sure, there might be some duplication there, yeah. > 3) How do I go about identifying and removing unnecessary files from > previous installs, now no longer needed (like Enlightenment)? Well for lack of a better idea, you might be able to indiscriminately rip out most of the xfree86-*, gnome-*, etc stuff, install OroborOSX, then re-install anything that you deleted using "system-xfree86" where you were previously using xfree86-rootless or something like that. > All-in-all, OroborOSX sounds pretty exciting. I'm pretty sure I told you about this for an earlier question, when you were asking about which X11/Window setup to go with... :) Maybe you wouldn't have so many questions if you actually read [a] what people are telling you and [b] what the documentation says? ;) -- Chris Devers [EMAIL PROTECTED] Apache / mod_perl / http://homepage.mac.com/chdevers/resume/ _______________________________________________ Fink-beginners mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-beginners
