I've just installed this on SUSE11.1 I used the CENTOS package. I've been meaning to install on the linux box for some time so this thread prompted me to do it :-)
Manual installation is dead easy. The exact instructions are in install.txt on the ftp site. Basically: as root untar into usr/local (this creates a kicad folder and all the directory tree. go into /usr/local/kicad/bin run a chmod on all the files this just adds some permissions to the files That's it, all done The same method should work on Debian If you want to, you can copy the kicad.desktop to your own user desktop that will give you a launch icon. It works for gnome as well. I've just copied all my WinXP created boards across and everything works just as well. I just had to add my own libs and mods as you would expect.
