Did He Say Drag And Drop?

Here are the installation instructions for Memo, a simple alarm clock/appointment keeper written in Python for Gnome.

1. Make sure ROX-Lib2 is installed (drag it to your ~/lib directory).
2. Download the archive above.
3. Extract it (eg, by dragging it to Archive)
4. Click on it to run it if your filer supports application directories, or run the Memo/AppRun file if it doesn’t.
5. The documentation is in the Memo/Help directory.

This is, of course, NOT the way that I would install the program.  People look at me funny when I drop to the DOS prompt in order to do some heavy lifting.  I would snag Memo and ROX-Lib2 via either Mozilla, Lynx, or ncftp, then do a little tar -xvf, and probably run ./AppRun & to test it out.

Of course, Linux will never truly make it on the dektop until installing every program (RPMs, .tgzs, etc) install in a similar manner.  Listen up, Red Hat.

Come to think of it, I’ll probably still drop to a shell…
