Yes - example - Matlab has an installer file that gives you the option to choose destination. If /opt then it has to go in TemplateVM; but if you choose somewhere in /home/user you can install in to an AppVM, since *that* will persist across reboots. The choice there comes as option in install process. You quite likely *will* be able to see this in the script. Since I'm just a bodger at heart, I would go ahead and run the script in a Template based qube, and see what happens. If you get the option well and good; if not you've learnt something in exchange for a few minutes of your time. Doing this will *also* allow you to see what packages you may additionally need to install, so that's a bonus too. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
