# MBSE BBS installing

## Installing the BBS.

Login as user mbse and type the following commands:

    cd mbb0_33g
    su
    password: enter root password here
    make install_script
    exit
    make install_examples

Note that "make install_script" and "make install_examples" is only necessary for new installations.

Now you have shell scripts in ~/etc, most of them are called by cron, some are called during system startup and shutdown. You also have some default configuration files, these are ttyinfo, modems, fidonet networks. In the default (english) directory you now have default menu datafiles and ansi screens. These are copies of my test system so you have to edit them to build your own bbs. Editing ansi screens can be done on a Linux system with duhdraw, this is available from 2:2802/285. You may also want to edit ~/etc/header.txt and ~/etc/footer.txt, these files are the top and bottom of the newfiles/allfiles listings.

## the next step.

The next step is the setup of the bbs.
