Changes http://wiki.axiom-developer.org/255InstallDoyenWikiFromDoyenCD/diff -- I don't think you want to compile everything from source - that would be too much. You have to make some assumptions. Already with the Doyen CD you are assuming at least an x86 processor. A simple script that would copy all the required binaries and start the necessary processes might be ok in many cases. But be careful not to overwrite any of the user's existing stuff without warning! And also provide an un-install script.
Different Linux distributions and even different libraries in different versions is likey to cause some problems. Perhaps this can be minimized by using static linking as much as possible. But in any case since the Doyen CD is based on Fedora, at least it should be possible to configure things so installation is possible on all Red Hat distros. There is a good chance this might also work with recent versions of SuSE. Maybe there should also be a Debian/Knoppix variant of the DoyenCD? Better would be to include the necessary yum/yast/apt ... repositories on the CD and instructions on how to use the native install for each distro. OK... this does sound like a bit of extra work! :) -- forwarded from http://wiki.axiom-developer.org/[EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Axiom-developer mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/axiom-developer
