dvdisaster is available for \tlnk{download-requirements}{recent versions} of the FreeBSD,
|
|
GNU/Linux and NetBSD operating systems. It is provided
|
|
as \href{http://fsfe.org/about/basics/freesoftware.en.html}{free Software} under
|
|
the \href{http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-3.0.txt}{GNU General Public License v3}.

The dvdisaster developer site (\homepage) contains
|
|
source code releases for the FreeBSD, GNU/Linux and NetBSD
|
|
operating systems. These are mostly aimed at maintainers of binary packages for
|
|
the beforementioned platforms. As an end user you might find it more convenient
|
|
to install dvdisaster from the package system of your operating system bundle or
|
|
distribution. But if you prefer to download and compile the source package on your
|
|
own, you're welcome to visit the site.
|
|
|
|
\bigskip
|
|
|
|
The source code archives contain a file {\tt INSTALL} with further instructions
|
|
for building dvdisaster. The build process follows the
|
|
common {\tt ./configure; make; make install} scheme. The installation step
|
|
is optional; you can use dvdisaster directly from the build tree.
