Linux KnowledgeBase on CD -- Spring 1999 CD Edition
===================================================

Thank you for requesting a copy of the Linux KB on CD.  Cheek Consulting
has done our utmost to provide you with a quality product.  If you do
have questions or comments, please email linuxkb@cheek.com or call (877)
CHEEK.COM (877 243-3526) or (206) 282-2892.

Requirements:

Recent Linux Operating System [such as 2.0.36 or 2.2.5]
Web Server [such as Apache 1.3]
Ability to compile C++ programs [g++ and its libraries must be installed]
30M free disk space for minimal install [run from CD]
230M free disk space for full install [run from Hard Drive]

The Linux KB is installed as a web site, so you need a web browser such
as Netscape or Lynx to view the contents.

To Install:
1] Log in as root.
2] Mount the Linux KB CD with a command such as "mount /mnt/cdrom".
3] Cd to the root of the CD directory. ex: "cd /mnt/cdrom"
4] Execute the install script with the command "./install".  Or you
   can use "./install -v" if you want a verbose installation.
5] A few questions will be asked.  Answer them according to your
   preference.

To Run:
Fire up your favorite web browser and point it to the URL of the web site
to which you installed the Linux KB.  The default is http://localhost/.

To Report Bugs:
Email linuxkb@cheek.com with a detailed description of what happened, how
you got it to happen, and what you expected to happen.

To Uninstall:
Use rm -rf on the directory you installed the Linux KB in.  Since
everything copied to the hard drive is underneath that directory
structure, uninstalling is that simple!

You must also delete the changes, if any, to your Apache configuration.
The Linux KB will change the access.conf and srm.conf files in your config
directory, typically /etc/httpd/apache/conf.  These changes are commented
with a #KB: in front of them, so they are easy to detect.  Apache will
need to be restarted if you change its settings.

To install g++ libraries on a system with RPM:

Both libg++-devel-2.7.2.8-1 and libg++-devel-static-2.7.2.8-1 must be
installed.  To check if they are installed, type:

rpm -qa | grep libg++

and look for these packages.  To install, mount your Linux cd in your CD
drive, change to the Packages/RPMS directory, and type:

rpm -i libg++*

Thanks, and enjoy!
