Followed the instructions - downloaded and ran fine, except it did not
seem to recognise my distribution (Fedora Core 1).  This is the error
message in full:
"The installer was unable to identify your operating system.

Please mail the full text of this error to <distribution@ximian.com>.

installer-ng 1.2.6"

Hope that this helps.
