<h3>Installing the BBS.</h3>
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
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.<br>
|
||
|
|
Editing ansi screens can be done on a Linux system with <strong>duhdraw</strong>,
|
||
|
|
this is available from 2:280/2802 as <strong>duhdraw.tgz</strong> (68 Kbytes).
|
||
|
|
The binaries are included in this archive, if you compile it yourself
|
||
|
|
it may give trouble so if the binaries work, use these.<br>
|
||
|
|
Another editor is available from
|
||
|
|
<A HREF="http://www.drastic.net/bmdraw/">http://www.drastic.net/bmdraw/</A>,
|
||
|
|
you can find the tar.gz file in <A HREF="http://www.drastic.net/bmdraw/files/bmd022.tgz">
|
||
|
|
http://www.drastic.net/bmdraw/files/bmd022.tgz</A>, it's about 36 Kbytes.
|
||
|
|
This is also a thedraw clone for Linux. Note, at my system I needed to run it as root.<br>
|
||
|
|
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.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
<h3>the next step.</h3>
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
The next step is the <a href="setup/index.htm">setup</a> of the bbs.

||
