No problem ... it's just this easy......

To install the pre-built-ready-to-run Arachne for Linux (svgalib).....

Download this file.....

http://www.glennmcc.org/aralinux/arachne-svgalib-1.93.tgz

To install.....

1) login as root
2) extract the package via.... tar -z -xf arachne-svgalib-1.93.tgz
3) CD to the arachne-svgalib-1.93 directory
4) run ./install (basic dependency checks will be done by the script)
   If all is well and you have all the needed dependencies....
5) 'enter on-through' all dir & command prompts to use the defaults
6) Alter your /etc/vga/libvga.config file as needed to get svgalib
   working correctly with your graphics card, monitor & mouse.
7) not in X, nor in a terminal emulator in X, but ONLY at the CLI...
   to start Arachne v1.93;Linux, simply type.... arachne <enter>
