I fear I can't use this command, because I lack access to a debian machine right now. I am living in Argentina since 6 Month and only got my laptop with me. (And I can't install all systems here (only got 20 gig of disc space) ) My server at home uses debian, but i can't access it right now.
I released Version 1.0.2 of Laby yesterday. As a Zip File and a rpm. Could anybody help me in doing a deb out of it? Help would be greatly appreciated! You can download it from 2 locations: laby.toybox.de www.sf.net/projects/lostlaby Am Dienstag, 23.
