Thank you very much, Andy.

I agree that line above should be the last one, inasmuch as roxterm runs even 
in that machine, i.e., it seems to have been completely installed. What annoyed 
me was that I have scripted two more instructions after install, for icon and 
.desktop, and have to run them by hand. Also I like having the install logged 
by paco, but it could't be done in this case.

Found obvious trivial solution! Changed the script, removing the "&&" at the 
EOL, so the error is displayed but does not stops it to complete.

My problem may be due to other rox* in that machine. I was trying to choose a 
file manager, so tried many: mc, thunar, pacmanfm and rox. When trying rox, I 
used used 0install, have many directories with that and with rox-all, etc. 
Tried moving out all old rox related, but problem persisted.

Finally, must say that I was suspicious about roxterm, and would stick to 
terminator, and start a discussion asking for it in the book.

However, both do essentially the same, with main difference being how to 
customize, so *I can live with roxterm*. The most important similarity is 
having tabs *and* drag and drop re-ordering of terminals, lxterminal lacks this.

The things I see terminator excels roxterm are "simultaneous typing to 
arbitrary groups of terminals" and the possibility to divide the terminal 
window with a grid of terminals:

the last image is referred to as "ridiculous" by the author

Although very interesting, I never used those but grid, just for curiosity.

Thanks again.
