As I understand it, tar will set the uid:gid, not the names. Since we can't be sure what uid:gid slimserver has on the target system, this may not help. tar has some options (which I haven't tried) that can set the user:group at extract time. It may be worthwhile to try this and document the best way to extract it. > Does the attached install more easily for unbuntu users (SC7 version) I don't think the issue is Ubuntu-specific. What's different in the attached build? I'll try it later on Fedora. Hopefully this will all be easier when we have a GUI installer ;) In the meantime, this is the kind of problem a DEB or RPM package of alienbbc would solve. -- Fletch ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Fletch's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=529 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=40130 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins
