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

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

to use this, and the docs for that are elsewhere.
See:
http://rscds.sourceforge.net/
Which is the place where documentation will generally be kept up to
date the most.
