I will do as suggested. I had in mind an ideal situation so users would have nothing to do except application installation. How easy or how dificult would be installing my application is crucial to its success because I'm planing to try convince domestic (office mostly) desktop users to make the step to Linux supporting them with desktop OS, office suite, Greek font packs and electronic dictionaries.

Most Linux users should know how to use urpmi, apt-get, synapse or whatever dependency solving tool is provided by their distribution. Those that don't know really should be pointed to the correct docs. The bare minimum is a single RPM package. If you want to make your users life easier you may need to create several RPM packages (Fedora, Mandrake, SuSE, because the dependencies names are different on them) and a Debian Package and maybe even Slackware and Gentoo packages. -- Felipe Monteiro de Carvalho _________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe: mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe" as the Subject archives at http://www.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailarchives _________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe: mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe" as the Subject archives at http://www.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailarchives
