Take a look at http://www.openvas.org/setup-and-start.html. This -- together with the openvas-check-setup script -- should help you cover the first steps. > Is the "Openvas-compendium" on (http://www.openvas.org/about-software.html) > is the > EXACT manual am looking for? The openvas-compendium was originally written for OpenVAS 2.0 and is increasingly outdated. > Am not sure either to follow this Compendium or the link such as the link on > susegeek > would be helpful? The susegeek description is very old as well and probably only somewhat helpful. Every tarball contains an INSTALL and README file. Be sure to read these files for up-to-date instructions.
