-DrakX is a very big project, and it needs special setups to work.
-The purpose of this file is to explain how you can setup your box to make it
-compile and run.
--=-=--
-
-Beware, don't try this on a production machine with important data.
-
-
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Sources installation:
-
-First grab the gi.tar.bz2 archive and untar it in your home directory, for 
-example from DrakX-*.src.rpm on your Mandrakelinux distribution.
-
-Fix a few things:
-% find gi -name "*/CVS/root/*" | xargs perl -pi -e 's/prigaux/anoncvs/'
-
-Then, log yourself into the cvs:
-% export CVS_RSH=ssh
-% export CVSROOT=:ext:anoncvs@cvs.mandrakesoft.com:/cooker
-% cvs checkout gi
-� � � � (the passwd is: 'cvs')
-
-And update the gi package:
-% cvs update -P -d gi
-
-
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Preparing the compilation process:
-
-(1) target directory
-
-Create a top level directory called /export and give write permissions to 
-the user/group that will be compiling DrakX. �It is also suggested that you 
-copy a recent Mandrakelinux CD in there. (You don't have to put have all 
-the RPMS...) ; you'll need roughly 1.5 Gbytes for a full install. (It is 
-possible to not have a copy of Mandrakelinux there, if all you desire is to 
-compile gi)
-
-
-(2) support directories
-
-You will need to create a top level /RPMS directory. �This directory needs 
-to be populated with the following RPMS:
-locales-ja locales-ko locales-zh
-
-GI needs to be informed about which kernel(s) is/are to be used.
-Most of the time, no manual install is needed. Just be sure to
-have the kernel(s) in /RPMS, and typing make later on will
-extract the package(s) and build stuff from it.
-
-FYI, for each kernel, directories will be populated as follows:
-
-gi/kernel/all.kernels/2.6.0
-        special files containing 
-        - vmlinuz
-        - modules.dep, modules.alias, modules for stage1 (*.tar)
-
-
-(3) required rpm packages
-
-You need quite a number of rpm packages installed on your system
-to build gi properly. You should install this package to pull the
-requirements:
-  task-drakx-devel
-
-You may need a few others I forgot to mention. If the compilation fails, try 
-to understand the message and install any necessary remaining package.
-
-
-(4)
-
-NEVER build or run Drakx as root. �Install sudo and setup the following 
-permissions in /etc/sudoers:
-
-user ALL=(root)
-NOPASSWD:/usr/bin/patch,NOPASSWD:/bin/rpm,NOPASSWD:/bin/mount,NOPASSWD:/bin/cp,NOPASSWD:/bin/umount,NOPASSWD:/usr/bin/install,NOPASSWD:/bin/rm,NOPASSWD:/bin/mv,NOPASSWD:/bin/tar,NOPASSWD:/bin/cpio,NOPASSWD:/bin/chown,NOPASSWD:/bin/mkdir,NOPASSWD:/usr/bin/strip,NOPASSWD:/bin/mknod

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-The comments written with #- are automatically stripped out at install.
-
-
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-testing all:
-
-� go to the perl-install directory and execute ./install2 --testing
-
-� NEVER execute DrakX as root! You might need to allow all users
-� to read the block devices of your hard-disks, though (chmod a+w
-� /dev/hda* for example).
-
-
-
-Here is how I (dams) made it work on my computer.
