</div>Oh i didn't realize that you mean compiling the source... First of all i never<br>
made it on a débian, and second there is so few disk space available i'm not<br>
sure it is possible to install all the stuff i need for this. No other way ?<br>

--</font></blockquote><div><br>Sorry, I assumed you were using Xandros (Debian-based) because AFAIK that is what the Asus EEE uses (I don't have one).<br><br></div></div>One shortcoming of our project at this time is that we haven't been building linux binaries for download at our site. For Debian-derived distros, the programs do get built into .deb packages quite regularly and enter Debian through unstable ("Sid"), and subsequently make their way into testing and stable, and into derivative distros like Ubuntu.<br>
<br>We haven't made any rpm packages, however, which I think is what you would need for Mandriva. If anyone on this list has the time and knowledge to make a rpm that would work on Mandriva, I would be happy to post it for download.<br>
<br>I would say, however, that your disk space would have to be pretty tight to not permit a command-line build system for tuxtype. I have an OLPC XO and can build tuxtype on it just fine. I used yum to install the needed tools and libraries and really didn't have any trouble, although tuxtype takes several minutes to build and install on such a low-performance machine. I realize that someone should not have to go through all this just to use our program, but I think it may be possible if you are interested.<br>
