ummm. nope. tried again just installing the client part of freeciv (freeciv-gtk) and its not possible - its dependant on files contained in the server package - have to have both, even as client.

Here are the packages that are installed:

freeciv-gtk freeciv gdk-imlib1 imlib-base libpng2 libreadline4 libungif4g imlib-progs

and have been made into a .dsl file...

...question is, why isnt it working? Am I doing sth wrong?

HA! Done it :-)

Thanks all for advice / howtos etc (lots of good stuff on these forums if you dig for it!)

OK. Got a working freeciv.dsl (only taken 6 hours ;-) & In process of putting this onto a dsl cd so that I can pass it out to my non-teccy mates.

Bit I had missed was that in the 3rd input section from the deb2dsl script, I had to enter the exact location/name of the *client* application. So in the third box, enter "/usr/games/civclient-gtk" and it just works...

(server also works from typing in 'civserver' from a shell)

V happy to share the .dsl - where do I upload it to?

1.12.0 - its the only version you can use with Debian Woody (stable) (which DSL is based on)

Hmmm. Having trouble getting this burnt onto a bootable cd...

The intro html says to just put it in the root directory. Easier said than done!

If I get this right, what I need to do is to copy the files from a live-cd, add the freeciv.dsl to the root, package the whole lot up as an iso again, and burn onto cd as an image??

I've tried using the mkmydsl script, but it has to be done from ram, and I dont really have enough. Also done on a windows pc where I cant create a new linux drive...

A 'how to' somewhere would be v nice!

help!
