Thanks for your reply err...No? :-)
That is one of the readme files I have been (trying to) use.
I got stuck at step 2.

What does:
"Run from the top of the source tree:"
and
"$ fakeroot debian/rules binary"
actually mean?

Do I have to cd to the directory first.
I downloaded the file to my desktop.

"$ fakeroot" doesn't seam to work in ubuntu-6.06.

Should/can I use "sudo" instead of $ fakeroot?

It's probably me but I have tried running that script every which way 
with no success what so ever.

That would be great.

I haven't tried it yet, although I have been told the colour scheme is 
much more agreeable.
