It's been a few weeks, but I have a little time today so I'm attacking this, again.

The most recent post shows some promise: http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_name=COL120-W625BDBBF43F65C9FF975DFB63D0%40phx.gbl&forum_name=freewrl-develop It shows that the poster is using lubuntu 12.04. I'm still on Ubuntu 10.04. Rather than put a lot of time into getting freewrl running on 10.04, I'll wait until I've installed 12.04 and then follow his exploits. I should have some time next week to start -- which means I probably will have some time in a month or so. :-) -- Regards, Dick Steffens _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
