Before Starting

Debian Users

Ideally you will be running a recent Debian release and will be able to add:

 deb http://debian.mcmillan.net.nz/debian unstable awm
 
-

to your /etc/apt/sources.list. Once you have done that you -can use apt-get or synaptic or some other equivalent package -manager to fetch and install rscds and all the dependencies.

to your /etc/apt/sources.list. Once you have done that you +can use apt-get or synaptic or some other equivalent package +manager to fetch and install rscds and all the dependencies.

Skip to the "Database Setup" part if you have done that already.

Other Linux Users

You will need to download the latest versions of the rscds and awl packages +from the sourceforge download page for rscds.

You will need to untar these. Preferably you will untar them from within the "/usr/share" directory and everything +will be in it's expected location (well, except the docs, but it will at least be tidy and everything will be in one place).

I would like to hear from non-Debian users regarding things I might have missed, or things you have +learned about the system, so please post a message on the forums, or +e-mail me or something.

+ +

Non-Linux Users

+

I would really like to hear from you. As far as I can see there is no reason why this +can't all work on FreeBSD, Microsoft Windows, VMS, Mac OS or whatever else, as long as the +pre-requisites are able to be installed.

+

For Unix and unix-like operating systems the "Other Linux Users" instructions are likely +to be reasonably close to what you need. For other systems everything will need some +adjustment, and in particular some of the path name and shell expectations coded into +the database creation scripts are likely to need love.

+

I'm available to answer questions, anyway :-)

Pre-requisites

RSCDS depends on a number of things. Firstly, it depends
