Installing Colfusion MX7 on Ububntu Gutsy, or Debian.

Get the installer for the Coldfusion site and run the following command over it:

sed 's/export LDASSUME/#exportLDASSUME/' coldfusion-702-lin.bin >cf

Note: There is a space missing in the second part of the sed. This is so the file remains the same length and the compressed parts add up.

Thinking of an upgrade to Vista?

You can now try a proper upgrade to Debian GNU/Linux. Just running this program on your windows box grabs a working image of a Debian system and pops it onto your C: drive without disturbing your current setup. You can then dual boot up to Debian from that image when you require. Leaving your current OS in place in case you ever want to go back.

Cost to you... nothing.
