----------PREPARE---------------------------------

* Boot from the CD. You'll be in Toms-Mini-Linux. Login
  as root with pass xxxx.

* Mount the CD. (i.e. mount /dev/hdb /cdrom)

* create the three boot-disks:
  cd to /cdrom/bootdisks
  - Create the boot disk [dd if=boot.i of=/dev/fd0]
  - Create the root disk [dd if=root.gz of=/dev/fd0]
  - Create the util disk [dd if=util.i of=/dev/fd0]

--------BUILD CORE LINUX------------------------------

* - Insert the boot disk and reboot
  - At the prompt, insert the root disk and hit ENTER
  - Mount the util disk [mount /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy]
  - Mount the cdrom [mount /dev/hdb /mnt/cdrom]

* - Partition (fdisk) and format (mke2fs) a root filesystem.
    Note that if you have a large hard drive, it may be
    necessary to create a small partition at
    the front of the disk to store boot files [mounted at
    /boot]. Only e2fs and e3fs support acl and ea.
  - Create a swap partition [optional](mkswap + swapon).

* - Mount the root filesystem under /mnt/root [including any
    /boot or /usr partitions]
  - cd /mnt/cdrom/core
  - run the install_core script.  As an argument, it takes
    the path to the root filesystem in which to install
    Core. [ex: ./install_core /mnt/root]

* - Extract the Linux kernel source into the /usr/src
    directory of the new
    root filesystem (cd /mnt/root/usr/src : tar -xzvf
    /mnt/cdrom/packages/linux-2.4.18acl.tar.gz)
  - Chroot into the new root filesystem
  - Increase the $PATH (PATH=$PATH:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin)
  - Configure and install the Linux kernel:
    cd /usr/src/linux
    make menuconfig
    make dep && make bzImage && make modules && make
    modules_install
    cp arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot/vmlinuz
    cp system.map /boot/
  - Run lilo [be sure to check the /etc/lilo.conf file
    before]
 ### Note: core-linux comes with the editor nano ###
  - Configure all files under the /etc directory (have a
    look to the sample-scripts in archive on the
    cdrom/packages)
  - for successfully reboot check again your /ets/fstab and
    /etc/lilo.conf.

* - Reboot.

---------INSTALL THE PACKAGES----------------------------

  - If you don't have an us-keyboard, you may find the
    kbd-package quite comfortable.
  - Mount the CD and cd to /usr/src.
  - just tar xzvf /mnt/cdrom/packages/kbd-1.06.tar.gz.
  - cd to kbd-1.06.
  - ./configure : make : make install
  - loadkeys de-latin1-nodeadkeys.map.gz (for german)
  - cd-
  - do the same with the libtools.
  - do the same with the e2fsprogs: ./configure --prefix=/
  - do the same with the attr: ./configure --prefix=/usr
    --enabled-shared --enabled-static : make : install : 
    install-lib : install-dev
  - do the same with the acl: ./configure --prefix=/usr
    --enabled-shared --enabled-static : make : install :
    install-lib : install-dev
  - do the same with the fileutils: ./configure --prefix=/
  - do the same with the xinetd: ./configure --prefix=/usr
    copy my xinetd.conf from sample-scripts to
    /etc/xinetd.conf and modify it.
  - do the same with the samba: ./configure --prefix=/usr
    --enable-cups --with-smbmount --with-acl-support.
    copy my smb.conf from sample-scripts to /etc/smb.conf
    and modify it.
    create a link ln -s /etc/smb.conf /usr/lib/smb.conf
  - if you want to administer your domainix-box remotely, 
    please setup the inetutils: ./configure --prefix=/usr.
    Don't forget to create a telnet-section in xinetd.conf.
  - if you are working via telnet remotely, you may like the
    editor vim better than nano:./configure --prefix=/usr.
    create a link ln -s /usr/bin/vim /usr/bin/vi.

* - config all /etcs.
  - enjoy...
