[ale] Linux Newbie kmd question

[James Kinney]

It sounds like the new "install" didn't overwrite the original. Since suse
uses rpm's, I would suggest you look on www.rpmfind.com for upgraded
enlightenment rpms and install those. This will put the binaries in a
location that the xdm/kdm/gdm know about.

Or, you can run "which enlightenment" to find where the running copy is.
mv it to a .bak and ln -s /new/e /old/e/location

Don't do this until you set inittab to start run level 3. After in works,
then reset inittab to run level 5.
