[xcrysden] Trouble installing, running

[Gavin Abo]

I tried the xcrysden semishared binary package on Fedora 12 installed on 
a USB stick, and it worked fine for me.

If it helps, below are my notes:

1. Go to: https://getfedora.org/en/workstation/download/
2. Download: Fedora-Live-Workstation-x86_64-21-5.iso
3. Go to: http://linuxliveusb.com/
4. Download: LinuxLive USB Creator 2.9.2.exe
5. Run: LinuxLive USB Creator 2.9.2.exe
a. Click OK
b. Click Next
c. Click Install
d. Click Next
e. "Run LinuxLive USB Creator" should be checked, then click Finish
6. In LinuxLive USB Creator:
a. For Choose Your Key, select the USB stick
b. For Choose a Source, select ISO/IMG/ZIP, and select 
Fedora-Live-Workstation-x86_64-21-5.iso
c. For Persistence, select 2000 MB
d. Click the lightning icon to start the creation of the bootable USB stick
7. Boot from the USB stick
a. Select persistence mode
b. Select Try Fedora
8. Open a terminal and perform the following:

[liveuser at localhost ~]$ wget 
http://www.xcrysden.org/download/xcrysden-1.5.60-linux_x86_64-semishared.tar.gz
[liveuser at localhost ~]$ tar xvf 
xcrysden-1.5.60-linux_x86_64-semishared.tar.gz
[liveuser at localhost ~]$ cd xcrysden-1.5.60-bin-semishared/scripts/
[liveuser at localhost scripts]$ ./xcConfigure.sh
...
    Used defaults

    Is this correct ([y]es/[n]o): y
