Simon, Alexandre & Stefano , Thank you so much for all your help i finally managed to start enlightenment. :D I simply ran xinit from the terminal and then it worked..
However once started it says connman network service not found? I ignored the message and tried to install some lightweight apps Feh and Abiword. Abiword works fine but when I try to launch Feh there is an "Application run error". The same error comes when i try to run MPlayer, the multimedia app that comes with E17. Any idea what might be wrong this time ???
