[freenet-support] does anybody know how to install Frost on ubuntu?

[richard hepplewhite]

Hi everybody,

I finally managed to get freenet running on linux/ubuntu 8.04 LTS! 

However, could anybody explain in simple words which steps to take to start up Frost in ubuntu? So far I didn't succeed. 

(I recently switched from vista,which didn't seem compatible with freenet, to linux. Therefore I still don't know the ins and outs of ubuntu). 

Thank you!

Richard.
