I don't think it's as simple as that. Part of the installation is installing the ROM images in the right place but they can't be included in the distribution so it really depends on how and where the user has got them from. I'm not sure there's really a simple solution. Ideally it would be packaged so you could do: $ apt-get rpcemu and it would all be installed for you but the ROM images can't be distributed like that so it would still need some user intervention and I doubt there's anyone to do the work anyway. I suppose it could install everything for you and then leave you to copy the ROMs to the right place but that still doesn't overcome the problem of needing someone to do the packaging. There's always RPC Emu on Puppy Linux Live CD (http://www.drobe.co.uk/extra/puppyguide/Announcement.htm) for those who have an aversion to CLI work - most people I imagine. :-) Cheers, Ollie _______________________________________________ Rpcemu mailing list [email protected] http://www.riscos.info/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/rpcemu
