#1 some changes to install and configure file of slashster

[Anonymous]

hello,

the INSTALL file under the slashster folder, gives us
step by step instructions for installing and
configuring slashster. i have noticed some problems and
tried to make some changes. i have uploaded this file
for your reference.

also, there are 2 new lines to be added to the
configure file at the top that resides under
slashster/setup folder.

####################

mkdir ../cron/tmp
mkdir ../friendlist

thanks,

viv

The installation is ok for me but 3 words at the verification
box does not appear. How to disable that feature?

Instead of the
mkdir ../cron/tmp

I'd have:
mkdir -p ../cron/tmp

...to just help avoid errors on the sheer chance that the
cron directory might not already exist.

The -p switch to mkdir makes all parent directories as
neccessary, not erroring if the dirs already exist.

I couldn't find a way to edit my other message, so I will
write this to further clarify...

What I mean when I say "the sheer chance that the
cron directory might not already exist" is that .. from
experience I have had gzipped tar files (as the downloadable
file is) get corrupted and some (but not all) of the
directories or files are missing or not complete. The mkdir
option I suggest (-p) is just to help with if that were to
happen.
