I have said it before, and I'll say it again until my throat is hoarse: whatever else anybody else tells me it is a BIG MISTAKE spinning off standalones for any platform from a platform other than the target one.
1. Find an old PC with a minimum of 256 MB RAM, a CD drive and a Hard Drive that is at least 6 MB (Pentium III or IV, probably best to have at least a 500 MHz processor). You may have something like this under the bed, in the attic, the garage, the cellar or over at Granny's house. 2. Download a Debian Linux distro (Ubuntu 8.04 LTS is a good bet); make sure you download the Alternative Install disk (the GUI on the standard one grinds to a halt on tatty old computers). 3. Burn the ISO image onto a CD. 4. Install Linux on your old PC. (if you cannot do these steps I would be very surprised if you cannot find at least one person you know who could do it for you) 5. Download the 30-day trial version of RunRev 4 Studio for Linux. 6. Install it on your Linux PC. 7. Transfer your stack across to the Linux PC. 8. Make sure you have a good look and think about the INCLUSIONS needed when you set up the standalone settings. 9. Build the Linux standalone. I know that that is an awful lot more long-winded than just popping out a Linux standalone from Mac or Windows; but it really does minimize the chances of all sorts of horrible things happening when your standalone actually gets to an end-user's PC!
