Hi all,

Below you will find install scripts for the SIAG Office suite.

There are two scripts: ".start_siag" and ".install_siag"

Note the period "." in front of the file name. Both of these scripts are meant to be saved in the /home/damnsmall directory. Copy and paste each script into a text editor and save them. Then, from an xterminal shell (rxvt), type 'chmod 755 .start_siag' and then press the ENTER key. Next type 'chmod 755 .install_siag' and then press the ENTER key.

To start or install SIAG Office, type './.start_siag' and then press the ENTER key. If SIAG Office is not already installed, the script will then call the .install_siag script. A Siag Run Menu will then appear and ask you "Which Siag Office program do you want to start up?"

The idea here is to add the .start_siag script to the Fluxbox Menu tree in future releases of DSL. Please add reply to this
post to let me know if it works for you and whether or not you have a hard disk install or are using from the live CD.

Here are the scripts:

Code Sample

#!/bin/sh
#
# .start_siag - Checks to see if SIAG Office is already installed
# and starts run menu. Else, run the install script first.
