HOWTO: IDL Installation

location: ubuntuforums.com - date: October 31, 2006
I recently purchased the IDL Student Edition data analysis software for my graduate physics studies. The software is good for scientific image manipulation and analysis, and is commonly used by astronomers and medical physicists, among others. The software is officially supported only for RedHat Linux, but I was able to get it to run on Ubuntu Edgy using the following procedure: 1. Install the Corn shell. The default terminal shell in Ubuntu is called "Bash" (Bourne Again Shell). The installation script for IDL, however, is written for "Csh" (the Corn Shell). Install this using apt-get. Code: sudo apt-get install csh 2. Mount the installation media. Just to be on the safe side, I unmounted the disk first, because Ubuntu typically automounts cdrom media, and you want to make sure the permissions are right. Code: sudo umount /media/cdrom0/ sudo mount -o ro -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom0 (your devices and mount points might differ from mine. Nam

HOWTO: Peerguardian Installation and automatic updates

location: ubuntuforums.com - date: November 27, 2005
PeerGuardian is a free and open source IP address blocking software programs capable of blocking incoming and outgoing addresses. The application uses a blocklist of IP addresses to filter the computers of several organisations, including the RIAA and MPAA while using filesharing networks such as FastTrack and BitTorrent. The system is also capable of blocking advertising, spyware, government and educational ranges, depending upon user preferences. More at WikiPedia. PeerGuardian is not a firewall. It filters your incoming/outgoing connections. It is usefull when on P2P networks because it blocks the RIAA, MPAA and other evile empires from seeing you. This helps because they can not collect evidence against you and will help in filtering the bogus seeded files they litter the P2P networks with. Okey, lets get started. Download and install PeerGuardian. There is a .DEB package and source code posted on their SoureForge site. This HOWTO will use the DEB. http://sourceforge.

HOWTO: Custom Installation of Sun Java

location: ubuntuforums.com - date: December 15, 2006
As a new forum member, I've seen quite a lot of threads asking how to install the latest Sun java JREs and JDKs. Sometimes instructions are given, other times not. The official help documentation doesn't really give instructions on installing Sun Java, without using the package from the package repositories. So I am writing this to provide a one-stop shop for those wanting to install Sun's JRE or JDK on Ubuntu. This how-to works with both 6.06 and 6.10 versions of Ubuntu, and with JRE 1.5.0_x and 1.6.0, and JDK 1.6 SE. It also assumes that you run 32-bit x86 architecture systems. Following these steps will accomplish: 1. JRE installation into your /opt directory, and plugin installation for Firefox. 2. JDK installation into your /opt for Java programming. 3. Setting correct references in /usr/bin for command-line invocation of Java tools. Step One - initial download Download the linux binaries for Java from Sun's official Java website. http://www.java.sun.com Place the downlo

HOWTO: NoCD FreeBSD/NetBSD Installation From Windows or Linux

location: ubuntuforums.com - date: February 1, 2008
Main Site This guide is for anyone who wants to install FreeBSD or NetBSD without using any external media, such as a CD, Floppy, USB-Drive, or the like. It uses UNetbootin to chainload off the host OS's bootloader (via GRUB4DOS on Windows, and GRUB on Linux), and load the installer for FreeBSD/NetBSD, so that installation can continue via the standard FTP-install approach, or through predownloaded packages on a partition. Supported *BSDs to be installed: FreeBSD 7.0, FreeBSD 6.3, NetBSD 4.0 Supported OS's to be installed from: Windows, Linux Download Locations 1. Navigate here and pick the appropriate OS to install. Direct links are here: FreeBSD 7.0 FreeBSD 6.3 NetBSD 4.0 Instructions for Windows If using Windows, download the .exe version for whatever OS you want to install, and reboot when prompted. Select the UNetbootin boot option on the next reboot, and it'll launch the FreeBSD/NetBSD installer. After that, just follow the standard installation instructions. Instructions
