Fedora directory users - Jul 2006 - Addendum howto install fds on ubuntu

Hi all,

One requires the termcap-compat package  for installation of fds on 
Ubuntu and Debian. Unfortunately, this package is not available for the 
x86_64 platform.

In order to install fds on a Ubuntu Dapper x86_64 xen-U this workaround 
seems to work for me:

- Get the termcap-5.4-4.noarch.rpm and libtermcap-2.0.8-41.x86_64.rpm 
package from the Fedora Core 4 x86_64 distribution.
- Convert these two packages to .deb and install them (dpkg -i).

Regards,
Olivier Brugman
