After struggling to compile from source (and repeatedly getting stupid errors), I have just discovered that the package is already in the Ubuntu repos and can be downloaded via Synaptic <IMG SRC="cid:1210964724.14434.19.camel@nit" ALIGN="middle" ALT=":)" BORDER="0"> Ok, so I'm stupid.... I should have checked there first... Busy downloading now. Will try to test as much as possible over the weekend (on Windows clients too if I get around to it) and will provide feedback asap.

Could the Kingdom guys kindly read <A HREF="https://wiki.ubuntu.com/OpenIcdl">https://wiki.ubuntu.com/OpenIcdl</A> and inform us about the extend to which they would like to be involved. I seem to read that they would like to run our finished products?? Great we welcome that. The raxso tool looks great and convenient to the computer classroom. Can we start to develop another ADDON zim version CD, that comes with all dependencies, because a lot of good tools fail to make it into the remote rural schools that DON'T have internet connectivity. Or how can this make it onto the Edubuntu 8.10??
