The TriBBS Bulletin Board System 6
The automatic installation process should now be complete. You should
now jump ahead to the section entitled "Getting TriBBS to Run on Boot
Up". Although for further insight about what the installation program
has done, you may want to read the manual installation sections.
IMPORTANT: INSTALL.EXE is only designed for installing new TriBBS
systems and should not be used for installing additional nodes on a
multinode system or upgrading from a previous version of TriBBS.
Manual Installation
-------------------
The first step in the manual installation process is to create a
TRIBBS subdirectory on your hard disk. If your hard disk is your C:
drive, you could do this by entering the following at the DOS command
prompt:
MD C:\TRIBBS
Next you should copy all of the files that were included in the TriBBS
archive to this new subdirectory. This can be accomplished with the
following command:
COPY *.* \TRIBBS
Now you can delete the TriBBS archive files in your current directory
by entering the following command:
DEL *.*
IMPORTANT: Be sure there aren't any other non-TriBBS files in your
current directory before you enter the above command. If you don't
check for other files, you will lose them. If there are other non-
TriBBS files in your current directory, you will have to delete the
TriBBS files one at a time.
The next step is to change to the newly created TRIBBS directory.
This can be done with the following command:
CD \TRIBBS
Now you must initialize your TriBBS system by running the file
BBS.EXE. To do this, you simply enter the following at the DOS
prompt:
BBS
IMPORTANT: If your modem uses another port other than COM1, you must
start TriBBS with the following command:
BBS /Cport
