In ubuntu you get a box up that says "run" or "run in a terminal" - pick the terminal option and keep pressing Y when it asks you.

Bear in mind that you might need to make the script executable first using the chmod +x command.

At which point you might as well just run


	Code: bash <install_file>

and then you'll not need to make it executable

Whichever floats your boat.

How strange, I didn't need to do that. I just double-clicked on the .sh

Installed that on my new insto of 9.04.

Was disgusted at it and uninstalled it 5 minutes later.

What's wrong with it? I had it on Ubuntu 8.10 and thought it looked quite smart personally. I only got rid of it because I'm a KDE fanboy and using GNOME leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

It looks a cheezy as Primula L_U!

Anyway, I like Gnome. Whack a new wallpaper on and use Windows fonts for added win.

Pretty sure I have & I've added the extra repositories & I've updated everything.

I'll have a look once it's finished it's next work unit.
