How to remove nautilus and intstall nautilus elementary with coverflow?

Question

I'm on 11.04 64bit and want to change my default file manager from nautilus to nautilus elementary via PPA to keep it (Elementary) regularly updated.

I always want to know if Gloobus coverflow and preview works in 11.04 and if it works steps involved? Thanks in advance

The nautilus-elementary PPA has been upgraded for the 11.04 release. Simply add the following PPA and upgrade (graphical PPA instructions):

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:am-monkeyd/nautilus-elementary-ppa
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade

Coverflow is incorporated into nautilus-elementary. Just press F4. gloobus-preview packages are provided in that same PPA.
