[McIDAS #RCY-484528]: McIDAS-X 2017 installation on ubuntu16.04

Hi Sohail,

My apologies for the silence over the past couple of days; I took the
weekend off....

This is a very quick note to let you know that I will make time to 
send a detailed, step-by-step McIDAS-X installation email a little later
today.

One thing I want to say in this email is that since I don't have an
Ubuntu 18.04 system to use for testing McIDAS-X installations, I
could have problems answering questions that may be solely related
to this version of the OS. 

Please keep an eye out for a follow-up email later today!

Cheers,

Tom
