Re: GARNOME 2.10.0.1

[Raul Acevedo <raul cantara com>]

How do I set GARCHIVEDIR so that GARNOME 2.10.0.1 uses the files I
already downloaded from 2.10.0?  I unpacked the 2.10.0 tarball under the
directory /home/garnome/2.10.0/garnome-2.10.0 (where everything is
installed under /home/garnome/2.10.0).
