[Mono-list] Using rug to install Mono

[Matthew Reeve]

I am currently tasked with reviewing mono for work, but I am having =
problems
installing on my test rig. The initial test environment is Mandrake 10, =
and
this will make up the first wave of deployment, focussing mainly on =
asp.net
on apache for the time being. I have listed the problems below and I =
hope
someone can help as I am keen to get mono into use within our =
organisation.=20

I have also tried to install mono using rug, however I have not been =
able to
subscribe to the mono channel. I am using the command line version as my
linux test box is a remote server, I have googled until my fingers bled =
but
have found no help so far.=20

Following the instructions at :-
http://forge.novell.com/modules/xfmod/help/projects.php#red_carpet

I have done :-

rug service-add https://forgerce.novell.com/data=20

which was successful, then :-

rug activate --service=3Dhttps://forgerce.novell.com/data forge-key
myemail@mydomain.com=20

Which worked, but=20

rug activate --service=3Dhttps://forgerce.novell.com/data mono-key
myemail@mydomain.com=20

Didn't work. When I try and subscribe to the channel using=20

rug subscribe mono
Or rug subscribe Mono

I receive the following message

Warning: Invalid channel: 'mono'


Can anyone help?

Many thanks in advance
