Installing from Ubuntu

Whether you have Ubuntu or one of its derivatives on your computer, you can easily install Ichthux on your computer, by doing the following: Add the Ichthux repository to your sources.list:

deb http://archive.ichthux.com/ichthux grace main deb-src http://archive.ichthux.com/ichthux grace main

Type the following commands in a console to install Ichthux:

wget http://archive.ichthux.com/ichthux.asc # This downloads the key to identify the Ichthux repository
sudo apt-key add ichthux.asc
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install ichthux-desktop

The Ichthux CD also installs sword modules for your language when they are available. If you wish to have them, you can perform this installation by installing the sword-language-pack-* module corresponding to your language. For example, for French support:

sudo apt-get install sword-language-pack-fr

General Usage Notes:

Ichthux 6.09 "Amazing Grace" iso image is a LiveCD, which means it can be run from the CD without installing anything to your computer's hard drive. If you want to install Ichthux 6.09, just click on the "Install" icon on the desktop when it is fully loaded.

The willowng content filter had not been included in Ichthux 6.09 because it is not ready yet. We hope to include it in future releases. You can however install it with apt-get, by typing the following in a console.

sudo apt-get install willowng-config-kde

Willowg needs to be turned on before it can be used. To do this go to the Kmenu and go to Settings -> Content Filter. You will need to add "bad" addresses which are the ones you want to block in the "Domain Filtering" tab. Then set up your browser to use URL "localhost" and port "8563".
