Using smartboard software as a localapp

[David Groos]

Thanks Simon and Veli-Matti.  I've moved from easier method to more involved
and am currently at my last home.  Seems the biggest problem was the 64/32
bit issues of the server/chroot... Anyway...

I'm working on your's, Veli-Matti and things were going great!  The script
stopped working with this message: any ideas:
cp: cannot stat `/usr/share/mimelnk/application/*smarttech*': No such file
or directory
