Hi Israel,
I see, but maybe I'm not the only one who did not try to click the black
text. There is a work-around: as part of the link text you can add <this
link>, for example
'OBI (the One Button Installer) <this link>' and have all of it clickable
Or to make the text red or blue with the standard method to set the
colour (as used in the top of the page 'ToriOS Your Computer is Free as
Bird'
Also I think that it is not easy to find the relevant information how to
install the OBI from those links
Something like this might help:
# ----- preparing for ToriOS
sudo apt-get install \
software-properties-common python-software-properties
PPAPPS=(numix-gtk-theme numix-icon-theme numix-icon-theme-circle \
torios-core torios-desktop torios-doc numix-gtk-theme numix-icon-theme \
numix-icon-theme-circle mkusb jwm-settings-manager jwm)
sudo add-apt-repository -y ppa:mkusb/ppa &&
sudo add-apt-repository -y ppa:numix &&
sudo add-apt-repository -y ppa:torios-dev/torios-core &&
sudo apt-get update &&
sudo apt-get install --yes ${PPAPPS[@]}
I'm not sure what should be added or removed from that list of commands,
and I think it can be simpler
This is needed for mkusb
# ----- preparing for mkusb
sudo apt-get install \
software-properties-common python-software-properties
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mkusb/ppa # and press Enter
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install mkusb
What is needed for a separately installed OBI?
# ----- preparing for obi-installer
sudo apt-get install \
software-properties-common python-software-properties
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:??? # and press Enter
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install obi-installer
I think such a group of command lines makes it much easier to install
the OBI compared to browsing to several links, but not really knowing
what to use. Even I, who installed obi-installer from one of your PPAs
some month ago, have forgotten which is the PPA to be used, and I cannot
find it (I have searched for it for an hour).
Best regards
Nio
