Do you use Ubuntu GNU/Linux distribution ? If you use the 7.10 (last version) it will be really simple to add support for our softwares.

Our LiveDVD is needed mostly for peoples who do not know anything about GNU/Linux.

The manual (PDF) was written by somebody outside the company. (Contribution) And this manual is about 333 model. So it's outdated. The 1.5.1 CD is outdated (on this CD MPlayer is compatible with up to 3MP, not 5MP) and on sourceforge you got files to recompile our CD from the original Knoppix.

Officially Elphel propose only sources on SF.net and the Knoppix based DVD 2.0

The easy way to install our softwares on a Ubuntu (the way i do) is to add those 2 lines to your /etc/apt/sources.list :

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/polto/ubuntu gutsy main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/polto/ubuntu gutsy main

then do:

apt-get update
apt-get install mplayer vlc elphelogm

That's it.

Feel free to contribute providing documentation on our wiki. We always welcome contributions.
