> To install Applixware on S.u.S.E. Linux, you first need to login as

>         mount /dev/cdrom /cdrom -o exec,no_root_squash,ro
> 
> Now change to the directory /cdrom
> 
>         cd /cdrom
> 
> Next, run the installation program:
> 
>         ./install-applix
> 
> And a final step, install the Applix libraries:
> 
>         rpm -i RPMS/i386/applix-libs-4.3-2.office.i386.rpm
> 
> Then go back to your home directory and umount the cdrom. Now you're

>         cd
