Description jojoax 2005-10-17 09:36:36 UTC 
I am *very* embrassed, that the current RC3 distribution uses *only* RPM 
files. 
 
This is not suitable for all not RPM based Distributions and a massive 
DISCRIMINATION ! 
 
Please supply a tar.gz package with the Installer as the 1.x.y Versions were.

jojoax: By the way, there are converters (rpm2tgz?).
Comment 3 jojoax 2005-10-18 09:26:31 UTC 
RPM Converters are failing due a package error. (i.E. alien -d looses execute  
permissions).  
  
Some of the files in the RPM are packed with wrong permissions, i.e. 444/555.  
 
This issue makes it impossible for newbie or intermediate linux useres to 
install this at all. 
 
Also a wide distribution without a WORKING TGZ Archive is NOT POSSIBLE ! 
 
Bring back OLD INSTALLER !
