in Ubuntu8.04, OpenSuSE11.1, Mandriva2009, Fedora11, LinuxMint10 and Debian5.03,
to check if somehow we lost this option in Linux. Well... it worked.

),
so if any Arch Linux user out there can post some feedback,
it would help identify a possible script incompatibility. Thanx!

mkdir -p ~/.Oolite/AddOns
fi
/usr/share/oolite/oolite

OK, I see. If I got this right, then the last line should be
In that way you take the arguments used at the command line and you pass them in the script.
