GPL installer for Linux

l33t_linux_h4x0r · 12-05-2007, 04:59 AM

This is now the official thread for MY (hopefully soon to be OUR) GPL linux installer. It works as it should ie. The shortcuts are dynamicly created, It contains the full game (no more redownloading bug), and it is GPL. Currently it is CLI only I am currently adding a md5 check and a GUI.

This post will be edited with updates with the "official" code.

Note to developers: All code has to go through me as I am the head developer. 99% of the time it will be accepted unless I have absolutly no clue what it does and how it works.

When I get 2.0 ready to release it will be posted. I am also going to try to make a sf.net page.

Here is version 1.0 :

Code:

#!/bin/sh
#This is a simple user check, you have to be root to run this script.
if [ `whoami` != root ]; then
echo "
You must be root to run this script.
"
read -p "Press Enter to exit ..."
tput clear && exit 1
fi
#END of user check.

I can't continue to add code here as there is a post size limit but I will add a latest version link.
