Sorry, a newbie question
Sorry, a newbie question
Hi, just stumbled across zoneminder and I thought WOW!
Just what I wanted (I think)
Always been a windows person (sorry) not through choice but by applications. I did try linspire 4 once, but could not get any software to run cctv. I now have a linspire 5.0v2 iso, and am wondering if anyone has installed (is that the LINUX phrase??) zone minder successfully onto it?
I have had a look at the pdf file and thought OMG should I even try it as a otal linux virgin?

Linspire's big difference is the CNR (Click N Run) technology that makes installing packages / programs really easy. (Never used it myself)
Zoneminder isn't available (afaik) in a CNR package, and building from source will need a lot of packages that probably won't be available using the CNR software.
So I googled and came across http://www.linspireguide.com/aptget
Looks like apt-get works, which is the universal debian tool for installing packages, so if you're prepared to get your hands a little dirty under the hood, it should be possible!

if your new rather than learn linspire, why dont you pick one of the zm distros, ie
1) LiveCD, everything you need to run zm live
2) CTU zm Corey Excellent Fedora based ZM install CD
3) ZM 2006, Ross's ZM install CD (My choice)
I would recommend any of the above as there are step by step easy instaructions on how to get a workling zm system. Using distros that are untested may work, but it will be easier for us to support you if you choose 1 -3

You could also try Corey excellent CTU zm, this has the advantage of Yum updates over the life of your box, comes down to prefernce. I have spent more hours on mandrake/riva so prefer that

You might want to go with the live CD. I'm tring to decide what I'm going to do with CTU3 at the moment. Was planing to make it FC6 but, FC6 does not like my machine ( Error in anaconda installer) and refuses to load.
I would like to get every one on the latest FC and not support FC3 (CTU3) since it's now lagacy.
So mean time, might consider Ross's LiveCD.

Corey
