OK, Here's my second attempt at a script.
It no longer refers to the ramdisk during the /usr tree install section, so it should also work for an hd install.
It now automatically installs to the /usr/local/bin directory.
MIME types are now downloaded automatically (rox base package).
MIME associations are automatically created to launch common file types using the appropriate standard DSL applications. ONE EXCEPTION: I could not find a PostScript viewer inside the DSL live CD. If somebody knows where such a program is located, please tell me.
An "Enhance" desktop icon for Rox Filer is now automatically created.
I could not get the thumbnail viewer to work with *.png type image files, so I no longer download the new libpng libraries. However,the thumbnail viewer still works fine with *.gif, *.jpeg and *.xpm files.
The instructions haven't changed much:
Copy the following script and paste it into a text editor like Nedit or Nano.
Save it to your home directory (/home/damnsmall) as filename 'loadrox'.
From a shell prompt, do a 'chmod 755 loadrox' to make it executable.
Then do a 'sudo su' to become the root user.
Then type './loadrox' to start the script. The install is now completely automatic.
When the script is finished, do an 'exit' to return to your non-root user account.
Type 'rox' at the command line to start it, or you can click on the Enhance desktop icon for Rox Filer. You may need to do an 'NO ICONS' followed by an 'ICONS' to get the new icon to appear on the screen.
