Installing Lindows?

[Ken Ray]

Barry,

When I got my copy of Lindows it came with *two* CDs, the one you can
boot from called "Lindows Demo" (which is the one you got from Chipp)
and another called "Lindows Install" which allowed for installation of
Lindows on a hard drive.

Okay, the boot CD does boot but how does one actually install it?
Whatever resources are on the CD simply lock up the "My Computer" window
as well as the "File Manager" app. At this point, Lindows an amusing
party trick but if I can't install it and see how it runs from a HD,
it's not a very effective sales tool.

BTW, the .iso image is an older build (4.0.471); 4.0.58...something is
the latest. Not meaning to be too harsh but were we given the equivalent
of an AOL CD?

Chipp, please feel free to pass along my comments to the Lindows folks.
I'd love to try it and even try building an app for it but I'm dead in
the water right now.

One other question: I saw a comment here on the list about how a *nix
distribution requires some sort of additional "build, etc." once it's
sitting on a user's HD. Does this mean that it would require a user to
possess *nix knowledge to install an app I build in Rev beyond
"double-click this installer" or "drag this to your hard drive"?
