Hi Israel,

I'm glad you like it :-)

I think the content of the tarball is what should be put to
/usr/share/OBI, but I'm not sure, you should test that 'everything' works.

That tarball does not include all icons and other program parts, that
are located in other directories, for example

obi-installer (the symbolic link)
zmktbl
ztweaks
and the pdf help texts for the OBI.

If you need not have the icons in /usr/share/OBI, you can [re]move them,
but they should come via the PPA package.

Summary:

The tarball for the obi-installer is only the content of /usr/share/OBI,
it is not the complete set for the PPA package.

Best regards
Nio
