    Here's my notes from 11.10 install. I think it just 'worked' under 11.04, so you might not see the error message:

    Not a problem at all :)

    1. I mounted the iso file and made a copy with read/write permissions

    2. Just changed Altera's Default

    # !/bin/sh to# !/bin/bash

    in setup files and installation of both files worked like a charm

    My problem is now RESOLVED, I just missed to install Altera's Device Drivers which is a separate archive (11.1_173_acds_devices.iso - 5.2 G file) :blink:

    Thank you Dave for your comments, wish everybody to enjoy Linux Versions as they perform Synthesis and Place&Route definitely FASTER, than Windows versions :-P

    I think the devices files are only for the subscription edition. I don't think the web edition needs them. But then again, the script I referred to above may unpack and install them. Either way, glad to hear you are up and running!

    Cheers,
