Hi,

Just moving over from windows to linux, am using Suse (latest 11.0).

I have downloaded the .gz linux version of starutil, but dont know how to uncompress it ?

Are there any programs similar to Stargaze for linux ? or will this be developed ?

Thanks

Kev.

gunzip starutil-linux-1.1.5.gz
./starutil 1.2.3.4 -rx
(etc.)

Doubtful, they seem to be developing the GUI stuff with Windows-native tools rather than with GTK or Java or anything cross-platformish.

Thanks Tog,

I tried that, it just does what it does, removed the .gz file, and left the rest of the filename the same.
If i type the filename it says command not found, but it aint a directory either.

Best Regards,

Kev.

Open a shell and cd to the directory that you have the starutil file in. Then starutil IP + password + flag + file

gunzip starutil-linux-1.1.5.gz
mv starutil-linux-1.1.5 starutil
chmod 755 starutil
./starutil

Find "Krusader" file manager and install. It is almost like Total Commander.

With Alt+K you can run it as ROOT user.

I have some fancy linux scripts for starutil, and it is almost time to post the updated version.
