Upgrading Elive Compiz to latest Elive

“Once the backups were completed, and safely moved to an
external drive, it was time to burn the Elive ISO onto CD and see
how well the Live version does. I figured if the live version of
the Elive had Ecomorph running as smoothly as the dedicated
version, this was a no-brainer. So I popped in the CD and rebooted
the machine. What surprised me was once the live CD was booted, and
I went to run the installation, I was asked if I wanted to do an
upgrade. I figured, since I was going to be doing a fresh
installation, I should throw caution to the wind and see how it
would go if I went ahead with the upgrade. I did and, surprisingly
enough, all went smoothly. There were a few minor glitches –
I had to re-install OpenOffice and a few other packages, but
outside of that I was shocked that what was an Elive Compiz
installation managed to upgrade to a well running Elive
distribution. But what about Compiz (aka Ecomorph in Elive land)?
Simple. I had to enable it. Let’s see how.”
