A 5.2 installation success story...

[cdoerbec at cso.fmr.com (Christoph Doerbeck A242369)]

Well,

I have offically blown the holiday weekend doing taxes and RedHat 5.2
installation.  Let it be known, that taxes took much more of my time!

I have no horror stories to report, although some oddities which I'll
probably bring up at tomorrow nights meeting.  (This is all related to
RH 5.2 .... I have plenty of tax horrors!)

For a quick summary:
	Stock install of 5.2
	reconfigured bind/named for root server DNS
	reconfigured sendmail for masquerading and genericstable
	added diald for dial-on-demand internet'ing
	configured exmh/nmh for proper interaction with sendmail
	setup X11 to run 1152x900 at 16bpp at 70 Hz
	setup xdm to startup on bootup with a customized login screen	
	configure fetchamil to collect mail from ISP
	configured my procmail filter to sort all incoming mail
	installed and configured apache web server

Things to do:
	Install & configure SANE for scanning
	Install & configure video4linux for my BT8x8 based WinTV card

If anyone has any questions, or would like examples...  My setup works
very well with a typical modem-dialup ISP.
