Thats why I have that alternate installer I provide

Last time I tried to get your installer the server didnt seem to be online, but now it works, downloading atm. Gonna call back if it works...

I just installed PS in Feisty. I had no problem. What I did was realizing the Ubu defaults to the nash shell as referred to in another thread I just typed "bash" at the prompt before the installation and proceeded in the bash shell. My PlaneShift_CBV0.3.018.bin had previously been set to executable. Then I just typed "./P*" in the directory (it was the only file starting with P).

I should note that I always set a new password for the root account when I install a Ubuntu so that I can get a root terminal instead of using sudo all the time. The above procedure was done as root.

I am not sure using bash will work for everyone but it is a simple enough thing to try before more time consuming efforts. Bash seems to have been installed by default even if it is not the default shell. I certainly did not install it intentionally.

I didnt know about that... Is there a way to see which command interpreter is running? But running it explicitly with the bash didnt solve the problem, so this cant be a too serious issue...

// Induane's installer worked perfectly, thank you!

Since the provided installer doesnt seem to work with Ubuntu (Some syntax error described in another thread), it would be really useful if you could provide the PS data in a zip/tar.gz/whatever file, so no installer would prevent us from playing.... Comments?
