Greetings,

I added the Linux Howto to the main site in the "How to participate" page along with the Win32 Howto. I just did a quick reformat and edit job of the information. Could someone else take a minute to go over it and see if I missed something or if there is something else that should be added or changed.

TIA

The tree after step one isn't clear, since you do a checkout in /opt/fpc I expect sometine like

/opt
+-/fpc
+-/CVS (internal cvs use, do not touch)
/base
/compiler
/gtk
/lazarus
/rtl

no further comments

I didn't specify since the user might want the .tar or .gz or debian version. I thought it would be better to direct them to the correct place and then let them choose.

Thanks for seeing that one. At first I thought you just wanted the +- symbols because I had it spread out like that. Then I looked at the HTML and realized that it had somehow lost my formatting. No wonder it seemed confusing. ;-)

Could it be mentioned which file I need to download to get the LINUX binary of the release compiler. First I tried libs.tar.gz, but that archive only contains 0.99.12a and that is not good enough to cycle today's compiler, I think.
