Hi,
Thank you all for your help. I've managed to get it installed. I basically
made three mistakes:

- I used 'desktop' zip/tar/gz programs to explode the archive - this caused
the to set the permissions on the underlying files/directories to be wrong
in some cases
- I associated the image file with the wrong Squeak executable; instead of
the installed one I used the one from the Archive
- I tried to install the lib i686-pc-linux-gnuoldld as that's what the
system told me. This should have been i686-pc-linux-gnu

I must say, it now runs like a dream on Puppy Linux. The installation on
Mandrake seems overload on the hardware so I'm now trying xubuntu.

Can I suggest to amend the Unix documentation to include the above for
Linux/Unix newbies like myself?

Again, thanks for all your help

Ted
