[Neurodebian-users] proplem installing FSL on ubuntu 11.10

[Yaroslav Halchenko]

uff, since it becomes a FAQ we should blog about it ;)  let me CC an email I
just have sent out yesterday for a possible cruel (but flexible)
workaround:

,---
| just install debian stable ;-) and I am not kidding, if you like I can
| give you a list of debootstrap + schroot + tiny wrapper to get it
| working within your oneiric but from debian chroot
|
| actually recipe is pretty much in my talk
| http://neuro.debian.net/_files/Halchenko_EuroScipy11_3_14s_in_Debian.pdf
| page 57, just lacks few more tweeks, e.g. add --include=fslview to
| debootstrap, replace sid with squeeze, and then create a tiny wrapper
| /usr/bin/fslview
| such as
|
| #!/bin/sh
| schroot -c squeeze -p fslview
