If anyone feels like helping a Linux newbie, I am attempting to install
MetaCard on SuSE Linux 7.0 for PPC. I initially tried the linux "engine",
but it was expecting linuxppc, so I downloaded that and did the install.sh,
and it gave me the following messages...
Unpacking file linuxppc.tar...
tar: Archive contains future timestamp 2000-11-21 19:54:55
/home/admin/metainstall/install.sh: ./gunzip: No such file or directory
Can't execute gunzip (wrong platform?)
Please choose the correct MetaCard engine file and restart the installation.
Does this mean that Linux can't uncompress the data, or does it mean that
the linuxppc engine won't work?
BTQ - For those looking at Linux for the Mac, you could do far worse than
SuSE Linux 7. I have been really pleased with it so far.
