Alan,

I also decided to put the Mariner program on an SD card and I happened to read the install instructions and discovered my original instructions may not be completely correct. Below are the instructions I now use.
to install Mariner from an SD card:

cd ~ ....this will take to your home directory.
pwd ....this will tell you path to your home directory which should be
/home/olpc use this in gzip instruction below.
dir /media ....this will show the name of the SD card mine was KODAK
su - ....this will make you superman (well super user anyway)
cd /media/KODAK ....this puts you in the SD cards directory.

gzip -dc SetupMariner-Linux-3_1_1.tar.gz | (cd /home/olpc; tar xvf -)

The command above will install mariner in your home directory. Once complete issue:
exit .... this will go back to your user id.
cd ~ ....this will put you in your home directory.
dir ....this show you all the directories and files in the home directory
You should see one called Mariner.
If you haven't already, update the lock files. See previous post regarding doing that.

Mariner/mariner ....this will start Mariner.

I believe everyone's user id will be olpc unless you added a new one so don't worry about it.
