In using those steeps, if the SusePPC is far equivalent to the Suse-Intel and you are running KDE, this will work : First : don't use the install.sh script that don't always run as expected. Second : before trying anything else and to see how KDE friendly can be... Store both the "linuxppc.tar" and "stacks.tgz" in a new directory (folder on macos !); Try to click once on the linuxppc.tar archive : if the directory window contains now "mc.gz", "xanim.gz" and "gunzip", you are far to end : drag the "gunzip" to the destop and select "copy" in the popup menu. Do the same with the two others archives. (it works too if you drag the tree files at once). Put "xanim.gz", "mc.gz" and "gunzip" in the top-level directory (that contains "linuxppc.tar" and "stacks.tgz") back. Right-click (or equivalent, perhaps shift-click, control-click, apple-click or so) the "xanim.gz" archive and than select "open with" and tape gunzip in the top field of the new popup window. Click once on the refresh directory window to see the result. Repeat the same with the "mc.gz" archive. Click once on "stacks.tgz" archive and repeat the drag'nd drop to desktop unpacking procedure with the seven files available there. Click once on the "demo" directory. Create, on the desktop, a directory named "demo". Unpack the gifs by dragging-copying them to the new folder. Drag all the unpacked files where you want - better to store them in a new metacard directory stored in your user home directory (not root, please) and enjoy ;-) Let me know if this works on Suse-PPC as it works under Suse-Intel. Otherwise, you will need to use "XTar" to mannually unpack the files. Regards, Pierre Sahores -- chef de projet cyberlibrairie SNPIN - CNDP. 91, rue Gabriel-Peri 92120 Montrouge.

More on SuSE Linux...
If anyone feels like helping a Linux newbie, I am attempting to install MetaCard on SuSE Linux 7.0 for PPC. I initially tried the linux "engine", but it was expecting linuxppc, so I downloaded that and did the install.sh, and it gave me the following messages... Unpacking file linuxppc.tar... tar: Archive contains future timestamp 2000-11-21 19:54:55 /home/admin/metainstall/install.sh: ./gunzip: No such file or directory Can't execute gunzip (wrong platform?) Please choose the correct MetaCard engine file and restart the installation. Does this mean that Linux can't uncompress the data, or does it mean that the linuxppc engine won't work? BTQ - For those looking at Linux for the Mac, you could do far worse than SuSE Linux 7. I have been really pleased with it so far. :) Richard MacLemale Instructional Technology Specialist James W.

SuSE Linux
All, I've just installed SuSE Linux 7.0 (PPC Edition) on to one of my Macs. Will any of the Linux versions of MetaCard run on this? Which version should I try? This is going to be a VERY popular version of Linux for the Mac, from what I've seen so far... :) Richard MacLemale Instructional Technology Specialist James W.
