E17 new user...help.. :)

First of all I used E17 long ago on Ubuntu, but I wonna try on Arch, so I have some questions:

1. From where to install E17, from Community repo or from Aur?

2. How to have some network manager on shelf to manage networks? What to use, wicd? I do not understand very well how to add wicd on shelf etc..

3. Can I replace default FM on E17?

1.If you mean e17-svn from aur, then maybe. It depends on how bleeding-edge you want.

2. What do you mean shelf? The system tray? If so, just start wicd-client in .xinitrc/autostart/etc.

3. Probably, with xdg.

Have a look at the wiki too.

I have e17 installed from the community repo and I think it works very well. As for a network manager I use wcid and have it in the systray that is available these days in e17.

I don't have anything on my desktop besides a wallpaper so I haven't really looked into how to replace the filemanager. I have set up a keybord shortcut to launch emelfm2 so that is basically all I do as far as filemanagers goes.

whatever you like. I try to update the community repo 1 or 2 times per month to current svn state. If you don't actively follow development and try to help upstream I suppose that sould be enough. If not, there are various ways to compile yourself.

2. How to have some network manager on shelf to manage networks? What to use, wicd? I do not understand very well how to add wicd on shelf etc..

everything in e17 is a module, which you can choose to enable or disable. There is a systray module which you can use for any of your networkmanager/wicd type of thiings. There is also a connman module which you can use with the aur/connman package (connman is for example used in the meego distribution).

As everything is a module, so is the file manager, so you can disable the default one an use just any you like.
