Hi Frank,
   Same problem under Redhat as Gentoo unfortunately. I download the
SkaleTracker RAR file using Mozilla. I then run 

unrar t  Skale076wFixed.rar

and it tells me exerything is OK, so I run 

unrar e  Skale076wFixed.rar

and it extracts. I then made it executable 

-rwxr-xr-x    1 mark     mark       673375 Sep 17 00:18
Sk at le076wFixed.rh9


and try running it, but I get:

bash-2.05b$ ./Sk\@le076wFixed.rh9 
This is the first version running under Linux. Maybe it's useless by now
because there are important details that could make to run slow the
program under some machines, I hope to resolve them in the next release;
with this version I hope to get enought info to make this Linux version
stable and usefull.

This program is FREE

Until version 1.0 some features has been disabled and other ones are
incomplete.
This is a BETA version. Use it at your own risk.

Default skin file corrupted

bash-2.05b$ 

There was a post to this effect on their forums, but it had no answer to
the problem other than to try downloading again, which I did.

I'll keep thrashing around a bit. Maybe there's a path to getting a new
default skins file somewhere. I might have seen that somewhere.

Cheers,
Mark
