			New installation procedure.
			---------------------------

The old initial system setup was a little tricky and didn't work on some
systems. This procedure is tested on Slackware, RedHat, Mandrake and Debian.
I have not tested on other distributions. Installation is now done by a
script which will do the dirty work. This script can be executed one time
only, unless you undo all changes the script has done. Basicly, if you already
have installed MBSE BBS, or there are parts left of an old installation, the
script will abort and inform you why. I hope this will give a better and more
universal setup on most distributions. 

A final warning, be sure you have a backup, especially of the /etc directory.



		Installing MBSE BBS for the first time.
		---------------------------------------

As root you should have unpacked this archive somewere on your system, /tmp
for example. In this directory type "make basic" as root. This will setup
a new directory structure /opt/mbse and create's some necessary users.
If this in successfull, login as user "mbse" and untar or unzip this archive
again while you are in the homedirectory of user "mbse". You may remove the 
unpacked version in /tmp now. Do not simply move or copy the archive!
Now cd to mbb0_33g, type "make" and as root "make install".
To install a default set of configuration files, menus and ansi screens,
type "make install_examples".

After your system is configured and tested type "make crontab" to install
a default crontab for the bbs.


		Upgrading MBSE BBS on a running system.
		---------------------------------------

Login as user "mbse", untar or unzip this archive while you are in the home-
directory of user "mbse". The cd mbb0_33g, type "make" and as root "make
install". Read the HISTORY file for update instructions from the version
you were running and the version you have just installed over the old
version. Perform the upgrades step by step, version by version.



Further installation and configuration are documented in the manual.
