Anne,
I am presently running apcupsd, and if I recall, it required nothing more
than rpm -Uvh acp.....rpm on my 7.2 box. It has been running since '01
without a hickup. The trick is to figure out what information your APC box
will deal out. (Whether it is a "smart" APC or not) Then just set (or play
around with the UPS type in the config to get the maximum amount of info) The
type of "cable" and the pin assignments are an issue, but there is plenty of
info on this on the web. Good luck! I'd tell you more, but I haven't had to
dork with it in years and Altzheimers is taking its toll.
