Talk:FreeMind on Linux
FreeMind is great! I have a great idea for a similar program only with a different feature set. What I want to know more about is how you start an open source software project. I have an idea and a beginning of a design, but how do I get more people involved?
Thanks in advance for any help / inspiration / tips.

wrong command in 'apt-get install' section?
for me the given command for installing freemind by using apt-get didn't work:
apt-get install freemind/experimental freemind-plugins-svg/experimental freemind-plugins-time/experimental freemind-plugins-time/experimental
i found out i had to delete the /experimental, then:
apt-get install freemind freemind-plugins-svg freemind-plugins-time freemind-plugins-time
worked fine
guess you should leave the /experimental in the sources.list away if you want to have the originall command working?
am i right or am i wrong? not sure whether i did the whole stuff an other way or the wiki put the wrong command so i didn't change it...

(K)Ubuntu Instructions work on Ubuntu Edgy . . . I think
The instructions and link to the blog post (and its attendant comments) helped me manage to make FreeMind work on Ubuntu 6.10 (EdgyEft). I can't quite remember the combination of procedures, but it works for me now. Highlights:
- I did install the j2re1.4 package (blackdown java)
- I didn't have to edit any files (but I am configured to use the the multiverse & universe repos already).
- I downloaded the .deb on the FreeMind website and installed it.
- I used apt-get -f install to fix broken dependencies.
Then, it Just Worked.
