iSky installs iTunes, Internet Explorer and Skype - and they run perfectly

[Random Squires]

Okay thanks, I edited the post; if there's any way to edit the thread title in a similar way, that would be useful....and yes, users might get unrealistic expectations, I can see that....it's just an issue that many users would be very resistant even to using an alternative ipod/media library programme on windows. So to have a host of complete unknowns on Linux is in practice too confusing....

..Currently the download page informs people that the script is for Ubuntu / Kubuntu Jaunty 9.04.... (snippety snip the rest)

I'm referring to whether or not your script detects what the the host system is running (32 or 64 bit).

[Random Squires]

Ah, my mistake umm, no it will not detect it automatically, so yes I suppose for 64-bit users the current script would install the 'wrong' package, although this would be easy to correct, just a matter of changing a url......my understanding of 64-bit computing is almost non-existent, can they not run 32-bit programmes as well?

[Random Squires]

I just added 64-bit versions, should work.

[howefield]

...can they not run 32-bit programmes as well?

Yes, 32 bit programmes will most likely run well enough.

I am really saying that someone running a 64 bit operating system would most likely want 64 bit applications, where possible.

Or at the least, be clear on what they are installing.

[Random Squires]

Ah okay then, yeah you're right, if I ran 64-bit I'd first) want to understand what it was
and second) know what I'm installing,
So yeah it was just a case of altering it to fetch the 64-bit version from the website, which I've done, so now anyone wanting a 64-bit version can just go to https://sourceforge.net/projects/isky/, click "show all files, go to "64-bit" and download from there.

How does this work with IE? I have to watch videos online through school and the only way to double speed it is through IE. What version of IE does it install? Is it compatible as a windows with all the sites?

[seamles]

I need baby steps to install...

since apple is now unix based wouldn't an apple version of the program be easily ported????
