Installation
------------

 Edit "configuration". It is a file on the root of this filetree.
 The most of the times, you need only to touch:

 KERNELMAINVER: It must be 2.4 if it is a 2.4.x kernel, or 2.6 if it
 is a 2.6.x kernel.
 OPENMOSIX: It should point to where OpenMosix kernel is. Use only an
 absolute path.
 INSTALLDIR: Where is going to be the system base directory (usually, /)
 INSTALLEXTRADIR: Where is going to be the apps directory (usually, /usr)
 INSTALLMANDIR: Where is going to be the manpages (usually, ($INSTALLEXTRADIR)/man)
 CC: Which is is the C compiler (usually, gcc)
 MONNAME: mon userland tool use the same name of mon, a common used
 monitoring tool. This is a problem in most system -like mine- since
 the most distributions come with mon package.  If you want no 
 headaches, the best is to change the name. This variable determines
 the name of the old mon. Some posible values are:
 	MONNAME=mosmon: recommended
	MONNAME=mon: the old fashion
	MONNAME=mmon: The Debian way. Debian patch is no more needed.


 (Obs: for paths, use only ABSOLUTE paths)

 and do:

 make all


 this should work. Don't worry about too much warning messages. I am cleaning
up the code, and I have activated all warnings.


 After all, use the "scripts/openmosix" script as a "System V inicialization"-type script, 
put your cluster at "/etc/cluster.map" and enjoy!
