For Picasa, you could download it for Linux from http://picasa.google.com/linux/download.html - the deb package will work for Ubuntu, and it's a great way to ensure that you have the right dependencies (wine version etc.)
Download to your desktop, and then double click to install the deb :-) <rant> I agree about Automatix - It's getting more and more redundant as MOTUs package more applications, and as people (slowly) start writing their apps for Linux. I personally think that Automatix is a temporary (broken) solution to a problem that is rapidly getting solved, so it may not be a great idea to install it. </rant> Cheers, Kris On 4/28/07, Alan Pope <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On Fri, 2007-04-27 at 23:10 +0100, TheVeech wrote: > > If you wanted Picasa, an easy way to install it may be to use Automatix > > http://www.getautomatix.com/ > > (Link for Feisty i386 download: > > http://www.getautomatix.com/apt/dists/feisty/main/binary-i386/automatix2_1.1-3.12-7.04feisty_i386.deb) > > which is a program that makes it very simple to install a number of > > programs that aren't in the official repositories.
