It is best if you deploy Mono on the target machine; On Linux systems the traditional way of deploying the software is to deploy the software using a package management system (Mono is available in a number of packaged formats for different Linux distributions). Your software would be available in the same way. Alternatively, you might want to look into mkbundle, but we strongly recommend that you use a standard Mono installation as it is much simpler to debug and track down any potential problems _______________________________________________ Mono-list maillist - [email protected] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/mono-list
