WooHOO!!!! Got it working.
A combination of three posts here and in google, and I have it
working.
If anyone else is trying the same, here's the deal:
Ubuntu 5.10 Server (Breezy)
Install required packgaes
apt-get install alien libappconfig-perl libexpat1-dev
Convert the rpm to Debian and install it
alien slimserver-6.2.1-1.noarch.rpm
alien --test slimserver_6.2.1-2_all.deb
dpkg -i slimserver_6.2.1-2_all.deb
Set up security and preferences
useradd squeeze -m -s /bin/bash
cd /usr/local
chown squeeze slimserver
cd /etc
touch slimserver.conf
chown squeeze slimserver.conf
chmod 664 slimserver.conf
Download missing module (ignore warnings)
cd /usr/local/slimserver/Bin
/usr/local/slimserver/Bin/build-perl-modules.pl
Start the server
su - squeeze
cd /usr/local/slimserver
./slimserver.pl
I've not looked at startup scripts yet, but I think the other posts
here will give me what I need.
A big THANK YOU to everyone who posted their war stories, it gave me
enough info to get my own setup working.
