Description pf 2006-11-08 14:16:12 UTC 
Can't install Netbeans 5.5 on Ubuntu 6.10 Edgy via bin installer.

Default shell is "dash" (POSIX shell) in Ubuntu. Install Shield uses some "bash
only" things _maybe_...

Unpacking downloaded tar.gz and running netbeans is the only way.
But tar.gz archives are not available for Profiler, Mobility, Ent. & Web packs...

Please, provide tar.gz archives for all packages or use less stupid installer
for UNIX system. Thanks.

I cannot help with this incomplete info. What error/failure do you get? Linux
installer uses #!/bin/sh as shell interpreter which is quite standard I think.

I am very sorry, problem is on my side (bad MD5 sum of downloaded file, I don't
know why...). Thanks for assistance to Marek Slama.
