Mondo Rescue and Mindi Linux HOWTO

# 5.1. Mindi

## 5.1.1. TGZ

If you are installing from a tarball then copy it to wherever you have enough space, for example /tmp and type:

    bash# cd /tmp
    bash# tar -zxvf mindi-0.7x.tgz
    bash# cd mindi-0.7x
    bash# ./install.sh

This installs mindi into /usr/local/share/mindi and installs links to the programs into /usr/local/sbin

## 5.1.2. RPM

Or, if you are installing from an RPM then copy it to wherever you have enough space, for example /tmp and type:

    bash# rpm -Uvh /tmp/mindi-0.7x-x.i386.rpm

This installs mindi into /usr/share/mindi and installs links to the programs into /usr/sbin. This may be /usr/local/share/mindi and /usr/local/sbin, depending on the package you use. Different Linux distributions put system files in different places. The funny thing is, each distribution claims it is right and the others are wrong. Oh, and they all agree that I mustn't have read the LFS! :-)

## 5.1.3. DEB

Debian users may wish to first create a .deb file and then use the debian package manager:

    bash# cd /tmp
    bash# alien mindi*.rpm
    bash# dpkg -i mindi*.deb

This installs mindi into /usr/share/mindi and installs links to the programs into /usr/sbin
