Hi Quentin, I was trying to install 0.4.1 but found it difficult to setup GNUstep. Then I found the *ubuntu-install-etoile.sh* which looked promising. Tried that and it asked me for setup.sh. Is there a *setup.sh* that compliments the ubuntu-install-etoile.sh? I think maybe I am getting confused between the two builds and need the one which will give me a user environment?
Is it possible I can fix my path so the ubuntu-install-etoile.sh will work properly? What to do if it asks for setup.sh? I see you don't recommend I use this script? Is there an alternative script I can get without having to checkout the svn? I also recently installed Nautilussvn which might be easier for me since it allows for visual browsing of Subversion, but this is getting extremely complicated and trying to keep things simple. I really like what you are doing with the Etoile project and wish you the best of luck. Would be wonderful if I could see a working install before the official release later this year, but if I can't then will have to wait, I guess. Regards David. PS: Living in low-bandwidth Africa, so difficult to download entire images, 350mb max per month.
