Novell Linux Desktop 9 Installation Instructions - 2005.07.18

1. Download this file: remerge-2.1.1.tar.bz2

2. Subscribe to the proper Red Carpet channel by running the following commands at a terminal:

su -c "rug sub nld9"

NOTE: If you already use Red Carpet and you are subscribed to the nld9 channel, you can skip step four. However, you can only be subscribed to one channel - if you are also subscribed to nld9-sdk or another channel, please unsubscribe from it for now.

3. Install remerge by running the following commands at a terminal:

tar -xjf remerge-2.1.1.tar.bz2
cd remerge
./configure

If you saw any errors in the output of the previous command (or the next two) that remerge's installer did not ignore, please email me at hortont@users.sourceforge.net with the full text of the error and as much information about your machine and OS as you are willing to send me.

make
su -c "make install"
su -c "/etc/init.d/remerge start"

4. Launch your favorite web browser, and open the page http://localhost:6732. You should see the remerge front page appear - if you do not, please email me at hortont@users.sourceforge.net.

You must now click on 'Sync Package Lists' and follow the on-screen instructions. When this is complete, have fun with remerge!
