Anyone out there installed Pagestream Linux on a Debian system - in my
case Ubuntu which is Debian derived.

I though there is supposed to be a way to make a .deb file for
installation or do you just unpack everything in some convenient
subdirectory. Should it be under /bin or someplace else?

Unpack it where you want it. Note that you probably want to create a directory
for it. There is a script provided with it to launch PageStream.

Quite so.

I just run Konqueror and have a split window. The source file is in one (my
download directory) and the other window is where I want Pagestream
(/usr/local in my case) then I menu select (right click on the .bz file) and
select unpack to .... well you should get the idea.

Hello Bonnie

Yes Bonnie: I have started PageStream 5.0.2.10 on a Ubuntu system and it
started straight away. No reassigning as in the past . I only started it,
I did not create any documents as my system will not read NTFS files due, I
am sure to my ignorance of Linux, so that I can import previously created
files and import fonts. All you should have to do i import the binary, unzip
it, untar it, and you should be ready to go. It is that easy.

I'm not sure about Ubuntu (never having used it), but the project to provide
NTFS access has apparently never been considered stable so automounting of
your NTFS partitions may be disabled?

The *reading* of NTFS partitions should be fine and error free. *Writing* to
them is another matter.

I know Knoppix defaulted to mounting read only to avoid issues.

I am still at the stage of linux use where I suffer from linux anxiety.

Since the Amiga was a single account system I have not yet become
comfortable with what you do when root wants to install linux software so
each person future user can have access to the program. Is putting it in
/usr/local if you are on a Debian (ubuntu) system a good place to put a
multiuser program?

Unfortunately there really isn't a single "proper" place for Linux. There are
some conventions, but they vary so much that there is no standard.
Both /usr/local and /opt are probably reasonably good places to put
additional software. I've got Photogenics in /usr/local (that must be where
its installer put it).

Hello Tim

Thanks Tim. I went to my LUG last night and one of the more knowledgeable
members helped me to get my SUSE 64bit distro to mount the NTFS drives as
read only since, as you and others have pointed out, writing to NTFS from
Linux is a no no. The really weird part of all this is that SUSE did
automount my NTFS volumes on my 32bit desktop box. I only had this nonsense
on the laptop. Now all I need to do is try to remember what we did for
SUSE and try to do the same for Ubuntu. BTW, I ran PageStream on Ubuntu
off the SUSE partition, so I probably only need to leave it installed there
.
