Edit /etc/apt/sources.list and add on the end the line
deb http://owfs.davromaniak.eu/  ubuntu oneiric
replacing oneiric with maverick or whatever version you are using.
You will have to use sudo to write to it so, for example
sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list

Then sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install owfs

Then to check it out, if you have a USB 1-wire adaptor plug it in and
then in a terminal do
dmesg
and you should see that it has been mounted as ttyUSB0 (or similar)
make a directory to mount owfs in
sudo mkdir /media/1wire
sudo chmod 777 /media/1wire
and set owfs going
owfs /dev/ttyUSB0 -m /media/1wire
(or ttyUSB1 or whatever)
then
ls /media/1wire
and you should see the one wire file system.
