Easy Enlightenent 17 install on Fedora Core 17

For those of us who have been futzing around with different flavors of Unix / Linux / BSD for the last twenty or so years, there have been many changes to the way you do things and get them to work.  The holy grail of geekery back in the mid to late 90's was getting Enlightenment working as your window manager (the thing that acts as your main UI).  I've managed to get it working under Slackware back in the 90's, as well as RedHat on Intel and SPARC, and Solaris 7 in the 2000's (thanks to the Cuddletech packages).

Enlightenment 17 has become the replacement for Duke Nukem as the perennial vaporware.  Its been worked on for over a decade, and was finally released right before Christmas, 2012.  Rather than delve into the compile, I was ready to just see it working.  I have a spare Dell Inspiron 600m lying around that I installed Fedora Core 17 on a scant two days ago.  It has a shit video card, its 32-bit and its low on memory.  Humming along at a maximum 1.6ghz, this would be my test for my low end system.

To do the actual installation, from the enlightenment download page, it shows that the fine folks at OpenSuSE / Novell have made a repo with the appropriate rpms. 

As a regular user with sudo access:

$ wget http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/X11:/Enlightenment:/Factory/Fedora_17/X11:Enlightenment:Factory.repo

And it would be used like this in a post:

$ sudo cp *Factory.repo /etc/yum.repos.d
$ sudo yum install e17

That's it.  Log out of whatever WM you are currently using, and log in switching your session to E17.

Answer a couple questions to determine your keyboard layout, then decide how you want to handle fancy graphics.  I chose to use composting instead of 3d acceleration since the laptop in question has a basic graphic card.
