I just finished make these notes.
Step by step instructions for installing
Applixware 4.3.7 under FreeBSD 2.2.6 the quick and ugly way.
0. Make sure X and Linux emulation's are configured.
1. mount_cd9660 /dev/whatever /cdrom
(whatever is your cdrom device i.e. /dev/wcd0c)
2. cd /cdrom
3. pax -rw applix /usr
4. startx
5. /usr/applix/applix
(you are now running and ready to run the demos in /usr/applix/axdata)
This installs all languages and spelling dictionaries.
I kept the spelling dictionaries but deleted the
language support for French and German.
6. rm -R /usr/applix/axdate/frn (french)
7. rm -R /usr/applix/axdata/grm (german)
However, the question remains as to how to set up the
permissions for non root users.
