- This is the README.TOO file for Stefan's version of the Internet
- Junkbuster (from http://www.waldherr.org/junkbuster/).
-
-
-
- Installation:
- -------------
- Install the RPM with the usual command `rpm -Uvh foobar.rpm'. Since we
- run the Junkbuster as user `nobody', cd to a directory where `nobody'
- as read access (in particular NOT /root) and issue (as root)
-
- /etc/rc.d/init.d/junkbuster start
-
- This will be done automagically for you any time you boot your machine.
-
-
-
- Configuration:
- --------------
- To let Junkbuster take `care' of the ads, you have to setup your
- browser to use the Junkbuster.
-
- Short instructions for the advanced user:
-
- Configure Netscape to use localhost on port 8000 as
- a proxy server.
-
- Detailed instructions for the beginner:
-
- Remove Internet Explorer and install Netscape. No `real'
- user would ever use MSIE. Though the Junkbuster works
- with IE as well. Read
- http://www.junkbusters.com/ht/en/ijbfaq.html#browser
-
- Check to see if the Junkbuster works correctly by surfing to
-
- http://localhost/show-proxy-args
-
- or any other place and add the text `/show-proxy-args' to the URL.
- Ok? Then enjoy your ad-free surfing.
-
-
-

- -------------

- mailinglists (junkbuster-users and junkbuster-announce). Instructions
- on how to subscribe and unsubscribe are at
