The main thing that is outdated with that 2003
document, is that it describes the routines being
divided up into 3 source code directories.  That no
longer applies... they are all in one directory now
(and a bloody lot of files it is)

When I created my install scripting system, I found
that document (I think it was that one) to be quite
helpful.

It gets worse for awhile, then it gets better.

Have you see the collection of installation guides I
put together at:
www.geocities.com/kdtop3

(And if anyone can figure out how to move these to the
wikki, I think they would be better there...)

Are you interested in trying my installion script
system.  I need a tester, and you would be an ideal
candidate.  I used it for my configuration on my
production system, and it worked well for me. 

Let me know
Kevin
