Guarding the mind

I have been trying to install Mindguard on my Linux OS for sometime now. Try as I might I can not do it no how. It’s true that my grasp of the Linux is billions of light years away from that of Linus Torvalds. Yet what is the use of downloading something if you can’t install it.


And I am inordinately curious about Mindguard too. Zapato seems a fun guy and his programme probably is only an amusing game. But the things that he says on his site on mind control are mind boggling. He certainly has invested some considerable time and research into it. Incidentally he maintains that Belgium does not exist at all and it is the creation of vested interests. All together an intriguing character.


Probably a man after my own mind.


But whether mindguard is a fun program or it actually protects you from psychotronic attacks is not the question now. You need to run it to know what it really is. I have not yet succeeded in doing so.


This irks me no end.


I have a double boot system, the first OS being a Linux distribution (Debian GNU Linux etch. This was downloaded from the net. At the time of installation I had no net connection and could not specify a location (mirror) to download updates. Hence it has an updating problem. May be this has some thing to do with the mindguard installation?). The other one of course is MS Windows.


After reading Zapato I was eager to see how it would work. It was easy to download it and unzip it. I located the ‘Install’ file and read me file. There was not a great deal of confusion on them. The confusion started as I was trying to install it.


I followed the instruction on the read me file of the mind guard and tried every other thing I can think of. Nothing would do the trick.
These were what I found on the install file:


“INSTALLATION:

It's what you would expect:

>$ cd [directory where source is]
>$ make
>$ su
># make install”


I cd’ to the directory, Computer says “There is no such directory or file “
Then how can I “make” “su” and “make install”


Well all other options failing I tried the last method he suggested.

“Or finally, if you are Mr. Leet CLI Guy, just copy
everything manually. The only consideration is the carrier
dir which must be either in ~/MindGuard/,
/usr/local/share/MindGuard/, or your current directory”


Synaptic file manager would not show the file (s) in it. It would only show the etch packets. I tried installing it through the terminal, nothing happened, I even tried manually copying the unzipped files to a directory as it was suggested. It would never copy into the directory the program suggested. I tried to run the entire installation instructions through the terminal as a last resort.


As you may have guessed by now, I am as dumb as a piece of rock in matters concerning computers. The Windows operating system has completely spoiled me. Though it may have vulnerabilities it also offers some nice uncomplicated features for the user. Not every one can be a good programmer can they?


So I would very much like to see some programs which searches for and fixes problems in the Linux operating system with a graphical interface.

I just am not the type who likes a black screen and white letters in it.

I know that there could be any number of options for those in the know. Some may even be able to edit the OS itself to customize it to suit their needs.

But with my programming skills entirely consisting of

Print “Hello World” ,

(You should see my expression of intense joy when the computer prints it finally after many tribulations)

I can’t be going anywhere near as editing the source to suit my needs.

All the same I am a very fun loving guy, though there could be others who contest this belief.

I want to install and run mindguard on my debian GNU Linux platform. Are there any helping souls who can tell me how? Or is this going to be a cry in the wilderness?
