[GRASS-user] installation of grass 7 unknown-linux binaries

[José Anderson]

Hamish,

I found the GUI package in the repository with the name 'grass70-gui'
instead of 'grass-gui', as shown in the
http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=grass

Also, the grass70.desktop, the command name should be 'grass70'
instead of 'grass7'.

I'll keep on testing it.
