Subject: Re: Debian Packages for FreeRIDE 0.5.0rc1 available:; apt-get install now ;-)

Mauricio-

  I've been trying to get FreeRIDE working on FreeBSD, and it seems that the
ripper I am unable to find.  Doing a standard UNIX install without packages
doesn't include ripper, nor does the FreeRIDE site mention where to find
it. (And I serarched on RAA for ripper to no avail...)

  Where did you get the ripper for the install?  If you could point me
the way... I'd appreciate it.
