RE: U2 Personal Editions
For SuSE, I had to remove all the options to cpio. Note also, that when it tries to set up the daemon to autostart on boot, that fails also because SuSE uses a different /etc/rc.d setup. That needs manually fixing, because you can't run uv as a user unless uvd is running.

RE: U2 Personal Editions
I believe one problem was either there wasn't unzip or there wasn't gunzip. I changed one to the other. I believe I changed all the references to unzip to gunzip, then it worked.

Alas, i no longer have broadband and the UD download took about 8-10 hours and didn't quite finish. I got 67.1 MB of the 68.2MB of rhlinux71_601PE.tar.gz.

Of course the easiest thing would be for someone to send me a gzipped tarball of everything that extracts from uojsdk/lib onward.

RE: U2 Personal Editions
The only note I have from an install is that you need to edit the install script and change the '/cdrom' to '/mnt/cdrom'. That was true for my install on Red Hat. That may or may not be correct for your system. My entire instruction was Iistall CD login as root mount /mnt/cdrom cpio -ivcBdum /mnt/cdrom/startup (uv.load 20 blocks appear on screen) ./uv.load Then follow the bouncing ball Anthony Dzikiewicz -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, April 07, 2004 2:04 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject:U2 Personal Editions I'm trying to install UV and UD Personal Editions.

It might be 'cleaner' to link the files: ln -s /sbin/gunzip /sbin/uncompress Just a thought.

Since, gzip and gunzip weren't linked, I didn't link uncompress either.
