EleBBS/Linux INSTALL
====================

This is the first Linux release of EleBBS. EleBBS/Linux will be a bit more
difficult to setup than the other versions of EleBBS are, but it has been
tried to be made as easy as possible.

You need to have an unzip program available in your path statement that's
compatible to InfoZip's parameters.

After you unpack the EleBBS/Linux release archive (eg: eb_009gl.zip) into
an temporarily directory, you end up with bunch of zip files and one bash
script called 'install.sh'.
Now please run the install.sh script, eg:

# bash install.sh

this will install an operational copy of EleBBS under '/ele'. If you want to
change the destination directory of EleBBS please edit the install.sh file.

After the installation of EleBBS you should be able to run EleBBS by switching
over to the /ele directory, and then running:

# ./elebbs

this should provide you with an functional EleBBS system. If this gives any
problems you should make sure that "/dev" is readable for this account, and
that EleBBS has been installed properly. You might want to follow the
instructions in "install.old" which explains how to install EleBBS/Linux
manually.
