The instructions assume a working Eee PC. Open a terminal by pressing Ctrl-Alt-t. Add repositories to the list. To do that open an editor: sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list Add this line to the list: deb ftp://ftp.us.debian.org/debian etch main contrib Save the file and quit the editor. Update aptitude, to do that, type sudo apt-get update Install software, to do that, type sudo apt-get install git-core Download binary package bibledit-x.x-asus-eeepc-bin.tar.gz (x.x is to be replaced with the actual version number). (Note: if this package is out of date, create your own.) Store the package in the home directory, that is directory /home/user. In the terminal, to verify the bibledit package is there, type ls Move the package to the root directory. To do that, type sudo mv bibledit*bin.tar.gz / Go to the root directory. Type cd / Install the binary package. To do that, type sudo tar zxf bibledit*bin.tar.gz cd /eeepc sudo ./eeepc-install-menu After rebooting the machine, the Bibledit icon is in the Work tab. If the icon does not appear on the Work tab after a reboot, you probably have a newer Eee PC, so it is not looking at the file modified by the previous step. You will need to copy the file that was modified by eeepc-install-menu to a different location, like this: Start a terminal window, with Ctrl-Alt-t and type these commands: f=AsusLauncher/simpleui.rc sudo cp -b .$f /var/lib/$f Restart the computer. Install the optional components. If collaboration is used, then git needs to be updated to version 1.5 or higher. |
