Thanks phhpro. Points well taken. We are currently looking at overhauling our current package management.

Re: Newbie help with installing minecraft
Thanks everyone for taking the time to help me! In the quote is that all I need to use to launch minecraft after I link everything together? I will try all this once I get a day off from work, which will be January 2nd (I get home tired and careless from work, I don't want to mess anything up irreversibly). But since it sounds like this method may not work, I might just hold off on minecraft for a bit and look at some other games for porteus. Thank you for presenting the information in a manner that is easy for me, a newcomer to linux, to read and understand. I also find it interesting that my question led to the discovery of a bigger problem. If anyone finds a more definite solution, please let me know! And again thanks for helping me out!francois wrote:Ok. It might be simpler than we thought. We are talking about a .jar program. This game should work like Domination game:

Re: Newbie help with installing minecraft
This method works. I started the game on my computer this way. I will have my son test it, or play with it to go further. 8)
