If you wish to install it using apt-get or synaptic, $ sudo apt-get install firebird2-super-server Then you can download flamerobin admin tool, <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.flamerobin.org/">http://www.flamerobin.org/</a>, that is "good enough" and play with the database.

Anyway I have downloaded the latest version which is 2.0.1. Since I am using Kubuntu I cannot use the RPM version so I have chosen the tar.gz file. I suppose that I just run install.sh in the new directory, is that right? I will want to use it as a simple stand alone database on my own computer. I am not interested in linking to anything else. Are there any problems or traps to watch out for? With your help I may at last have a database that I can use. Neil </pre> </blockquote> </body> </html>
