[squeak-dev] How do I install Squeak on Fedora? Aspire One netbook

> Hello
>
> I would like to install Squeak on Fedora, in particular  on an Aspire One
> netbook, which uses Linpus which is based on Fedora.
> http://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=linpus
>
> The process does not seem to be as straightforward as in Ubuntu: There you
> can at install version 3.9 version with the 'Add/Remove software' menu
> which is the last entry in the main menu.

> PROBLEM: NO RPM FILE AVAILABLE
>
> There is no RPM file for a VM for Squeak 3.10 or Squeak 3.9. found through
> the links in the previous paragraph.

> I am pretty sure that somebody as worked on this and that there is a Fedora
> RPM package available with everything in it for Squeak 3.9 and Squeak 3.10.
> Or at least a VM. However the links have not been updated, if you start
> exploring from www.squeak.org.

> I am willing to update the wiki with the upcoming answers.

> So thank you for your answers in advance.

> DETAILS ABOUT SOFTWARE INSTALLATION ON THE ASPIRE ONE NETBOOK
>
> The Aspire One as such does not have an 'add software' menu entry as it
> comes right out of the box.
>
> But it can easily be activated as follows:
>
> Under 'Myfiles' from the front launchpad you get access to the xfce file
> manager called 'Thunar'.
> In the file menu there it is possible to get a terminal and then to use
> xfce-setting-show
> A dialog box pops up.
>
> Then choose the 'desktop' icon,
> the  'behaviour' tab
> and click on the 'show desktop menu on right click' checkbox.
>
> Then from the desktop menu you get access to the 'System' menu which
> includes 'add/remove software' to start the RPM package manager.
>
> However I feel comfortable as well to install from the command line as long
> as I do have to type only a few lines and can rely on good instructions
> what these lines are.
>
> The particular Aspire One model I use to write this mail comes with 1GB of
> memory and a 120GB hard disk at an attractive price. It might be used as a
> server in an small intranet. In fact s simpler netbook would still do the
> job for running Squeak comfortably....
