equo install to Switch Gnome-3 => Enlightement? [Solved]

[gstrock]

[Solved] I read the wiki, rolled up my sleeves, jumped in
and did what I had to do. Basically this:

> equo install --ask x11-wm/enlightenment:0.17

Did a bunch of other stuff listed in the wiki, like run this
script: ./easy_e17.sh -i, not sure what it did, maybe
I shouldn't have run it, I don't know yet.

The fonts were really tiny, and I discovered I had to check
"Enable Custom Font Classes" in the Settings Panel->Font Settings
control panel before picking a bigger size would stick.

Super light window manager, think Fluxbox that looks very, very nice.
Its even got a task bar on the bottom. I'm one of the few people who liked
Gnome-3 and Unity (on my netbook), but I get bored after a while and like
to try something else. I tried Enlightenment about 10 years ago, but when
I saw Sabayon had an Enlightenment iso, I just had to give it another shot.

I got a ton of error messages like this:
There was an error loading module named: conf_acpibindings/linux-gnu-i486-ver-pre-svn-08/module.so could not be found in the module search directories. Would you like to unload this module?
I googled on that and it seems that is common with E17. The solution
is to click yes and they should go away until the next time you upgrade.

[Original Post]
I'm running Gnome-3 but would like
to switch to Enlightenment 17.

Can I just install the necessary packages
or should I start with the Enlightenment iso
and do a fresh install?

Ideally, I would like to add Enlightenment
to the list of sessions at log in time.

I noticed that the Awesome and Enlightenment
iso images have Linux kernel 3.1, while the Gnome-3
and KDE iso images have Linux kernel 3.0. Is there
a reason for that?

I'm real happy with Sabayon. Debian and Debian based distros
used to be my favorite, but now I prefer a Gentoo based distro.
