I just just wondering if anyone had scar working with a linux distro… (im using ubuntu 7.10)

I can get it to work fine under wine, but when it comes to using scripts scar cant find the rs box.. i think this is due to the fact that i would need to run rs under a windows program/browser… but everytime i try to install java plugins for any browser it doesnt let me… not sure if this is due to wine or not…


So if anyone has any info on this/ tips to overcome it let me know.
cheers,

I believe someone got this to work. But i wouldnt recommend it, since scar is not supported on linux. Just make a virtual machine with tiny xp, and ur good to go.
