- Short: Guide to configuring Slackware Linux for use with Demon Internet.
-
-
- This guide has been tested on Slackware 3.0, 2.3, 2.2 and 2.1. There
- are earlier versions for Slackware 2.0 and 1.2. It describes dial-up
- SLIP/PPP access to Demon Internet, with a static IP address, defined
- host name and SMTP mail delivery (not PoP).
-
- There are four packages:
-
- * The BASE package explains how to configure Slackware Linux on a single
- machine, connected to the Internet via dial-up serial line to Demon
- Internet. It configures basic networking and e-mail.
-
- * The CNEWS package describes how to obtain Usenet news using C News and
- slurp as news transport agents, and nn or tin as news reader.
-
- * The INN package explains how to use INN for Usenet news, instead of
- C News. INN is a more modern news transport agent than C News and is
- gaining in popularity. You must choose to install either C News or
- INN, but not both. They will not work together.
-
- * The BIND package describes how to run a simple (optional) cache-only
- name server using the named daemon.
-
- Start with the README in the BASE package. If you want Usenet news,
- continue with the README in either the CNEWS package or the INN package.
- If you want to run a cache-only name server, follow the README in the
- BIND package.
-
- Start with the README in the BASE package. If you want Usenet news,
- continue with the README in either the CNEWS package or the INN package.
- If you want to run a cache-only name server, follow the README in the
- BIND package.
-
- You can run the unpack script to extract the files from each package
- you ask for. It will take care to preserve the correct ownership and
- permission for each file. Please run it as root to allow it to do this.
-
- My thanks go to Ivan Beveridge <ivan@dreamtim.demon.co.uk> for allowing
- me to include his INN configuration package, and to everyone else who
- has helped in the preparation of the Guide.
