Epaath in browser

To load Epaath activities from within a browser on Linux, one needs to do the following things:

- On a non-XO machine, download the Squeak browser plugin from Squeakland

- Get a copy of E-Paath.

- For now, get a Squeak patch from me, Ties, and load it into your Etoys image. Save the Image.

as root:
- link the Epaath Squeak image to /usr/lib/squeak/SqueakPlugin.image. Take away or relocate the current SqueakPlugin.image in that location, if it happens to be present.

- If on an XO, replace the squeak-in-browser startup script /usr/lib/squeak/npsqueakrun with a custom script. Just for now to be found by asking me, Ties for it.

- Link the squeak plugin to your browsers plugin directory.
If you've downloaded and installed the plugin on a regular fedora machine, you don't have to do anything.
On the XO, link /usr/lib/squeak/npsqueakrun to the dir /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins
On Ubuntu with Firefox 2, link /usr/lib/squeak/npsqueakrun to the dir /usr/lib/firefox/plugins
On Ubuntu with Firefox 3, link /usr/lib/squeak/npsqueakrun to the dir /usr/lib/firefox-addons/plugins
Other distributions, unknown, but should be somewhat the same as one of the previous.

And of course restart your browser.

- Then surf to a page with the activity embedded in it. If you need to embed an activity yourself, this is the code for it.

      <embed
		type="application/x-Squeak-Source"
		ALIGN="CENTER"
		src="test.001.pr"
		showSplash="false"
		flaps="none"
		base="example.org/"
		pluginspage="http://www.squeakland.org/plugin/detect/detectinstaller.html"
        width="100%"
        height="100%"> </embed>

As you might guess, this implies you've got a webserver running which can service http://example.org/test.001.pr

That's it!
