Well, I'm no sysadmin, quite a linux noob myself, but I think you can get away with having shoes extracted on other partitions and installing there. But that won't help you for fresh installs of linux I guess, you would have to either reinstall again or do some configuration stuff with your bash and all that (just reinstall really if you don't know how to do this). You would need to install dependancies again anyways, so with fresh linux installs, you're best off just reinstalling shoes.
Just extract, and check the readme. Make sure you install all the dependencies (listed in the readme) and just follow the instructions. Subject: Re: best way to get a RUN file for my app like shoes2.run From: [email protected] To: [email protected] Date: Tue, 26 May 2009 19:42:04 +1200 Is there a particular place you put the extracted files ? Reason is from time to time I do a fresh install of a new version of linux (running Kubuntu 9.04 at present but thinking of trying Mehpis) I have a number of partitions that i don't destroy and thought i could extract the source code in there and _all_ will be well or is this bad, wrong, thinking. I usually stay within the system repo's so never really built from source code. Your guidance on this would be great. Dave. On Tuesday 26 May 2009 07:04:36 pm Ehsanul Hoque wrote: > I see the issue.
