I am not aware of any ``cheat sheet'', but I have been able to get
applixware 4.3.7 running under FreeBSD 2.2.5, 2.2.6, 2.2.7, and
CURRENT. I was not able to get the install working -- I just
copied the CD-ROM. From memory, as root with the CD-ROM mounted
on /cdrom
1. cp -r /cdrom/applix /usr/local/lib (need 500MB free to do this)
2. echo /usr/local/lib > /etc/applixprefix
3. cd /usr/local/bin
4. ln -s /usr/local/lib/applix/bin/applix .
5. Modify /usr/local/lib/applix/bin/applix as follows
a. Change ``ldd'' to ``/compat/linux/usr/bin/ldd''
b. Change ``/bin/bash'' to ``/usr/local/bin/bash'' (if necessary)
Applixware took about 500MB of disk space. By removing unwanted
foreign language support (spelling dictionaries), I was able to
reduce the disk requirements to about 240MB. Here's what I did
to free up 260MB (I left support in for a few languages).
1. cd /usr/local/lib/applix/axdata
2. /bin/rm -rf grm frn
3. cd /usr/local/lib/applix/axlang
4. /bin/rm -f brz* cfr* dan* dut* fin* frn*
5. /bin/rm -f itl* nrw* nyn* prt* spn* swd*
Hope this helps. YMMV.
