Hello Russ, if your are using Ubuntu 11.04 or 11.10, then you could just download the latest wmlive-create-0.72.tar.xz (or later) archive from http://sourceforge.net/projects/wmlive/files/ for your installation pleasure. It may possibly also run in latr releases, but i never bothered trying any of these so far.
This archive contains yet another archive named wmlive-extrapkgs.tar.xz with followin contents: [root]/tmp/wmlive-create-0.72 # tar tJf wmlive-extrapkgs.tar.xz wmlive-extrapkgs/ wmlive-extrapkgs/libwraster3_0.95.2-0.0_i386.deb wmlive-extrapkgs/libwraster3_0.95.2-0.0_amd64.deb wmlive-extrapkgs/libdockapp_0.6.2-0.1_i386.deb wmlive-extrapkgs/wmvolman_1.0-1_amd64.deb wmlive-extrapkgs/wmaker_0.95.2-0.0_i386.deb wmlive-extrapkgs/wmsystemtray_1.2-1_amd64.deb wmlive-extrapkgs/wmsystemtray_1.2-1_i386.deb wmlive-extrapkgs/wmaker-common_0.95.2-0.0_all.deb wmlive-extrapkgs/wmudmount_1.8-1_amd64.deb wmlive-extrapkgs/wmaker_0.95.2-0.0_amd64.deb wmlive-extrapkgs/wmmail_0.64-13.2wmlive1_i386.deb wmlive-extrapkgs/libwutil2_0.95.2-0.0_amd64.deb wmlive-extrapkgs/libwutil2_0.95.2-0.0_i386.deb wmlive-extrapkgs/wmlaptop2_2.0-1_amd64.deb wmlive-extrapkgs/wmlaptop2_2.0-0wmlive0-1_i386.deb wmlive-extrapkgs/wmvolman_1.0-0.1_i386.deb wmlive-extrapkgs/libwings2_0.95.2-0.0_i386.deb wmlive-extrapkgs/wmmail_0.64-13.2wmlive1_amd64.deb wmlive-extrapkgs/wmudmount_1.8-1_i386.deb wmlive-extrapkgs/libwings2_0.95.2-0.0_amd64.deb wmlive-extrapkgs/libdockapp_0.6.2-0.1_amd64.deb Choose as you please. ;) I have compiled these packages for inclusion in my Window Maker Live CD project from the debianized sources as provided by Rodolfo. If you use the Debian repositories, as suggested by Rodolfo, there are most probably some dependency issues. This was the reason why i compiled these packages for Ubuntu, since the one's i built for my Debian/unstable system could not be installed in Ubuntu due to dependency mismatches.
