1. When running from CD if you get a permission denied error probably means 
that your cdrom device does not allow execution of binaries try adding exec as 
an option to your /mnt/cdrom in fstab 
Or 

mount /mnt/cdrom user,fs=iso9660,dev=/dev/cdrom,exec 0 0

2. If the installed version does not seem to work and you choose to use a copy 
of java already found on your computer then you might not have the correct 
version of java installed. Use the command

java -version 

You may need to include the full path to the java executable. In order for
Web(Tide/Drogue) to work you need at least java 1.4, if you have something 
different try uninstalling and reinstalling Web(Tide/Drogue) this time using 
the included java VM.

3. If using the Help-->Web(Tide/Drogue) menu item and using the 
"Get Elevation/Current/Drogue Prediction" buttons do not start up a copy of 
Firefox then your version of Firefox may not be where I think it is. You may 
Edit the file found in the "data/" directory called 
"Web(Tide/Drogue)_linux.properties". There should be a line similar to

openmap.WebBrowser=/usr/bin/firefox

change this location to the location of your Mozilla or your favourite
WebBrowser.

4. If for some reason you do not have a writable /tmp directory then you should
get the system administrator to add a /tmp directory and make sure it is writable
by everyone. For now the some of the code assumes that it will be able to 
write to a directory called /tmp/

5. Sometimes when starting the program the button panel on the right side of the
application does not appear. This will fix itself the first time the map view
refreshes. I do not know why the panel is missing at startup sometimes, but for
now this is being considered a low priority bug since all the actions found in
the button panel can still be accessed through the menu bar.


6. If you intsall Web(Tide/Drogue) using the separate data bundles or you add or
update a mesh. Web(Tide/Drogue) will change the default starting mesh to be the
last one installed. If you would like to change which mesh you start in you may
edit the file found in the "data/" directory called 
"Web(Tide/Drogue)_linux.properties". There should be line similar to

Mesh=cg1

change this mesh name to equal the mesh code you would like to start in. Use 
the mesh directory names as the mesh codes.
