Props to otterpop for the basics. The rest is to keep it as easy as possible below. For the most part it's run smooth as silk, less locks or drops as well. Not to mention RH 8.0 is pretty attractive desktop wise. There's some nice changes.
Anyway, most of this is otterpop's info, I just adjusted it for the "full install" crowd. I hate to call this the "dummies" guide but it is just about that easy.
1) Select 'Custom' installation, then scroll down and select 'Everything'. Minimum 4 gig needed plus storage room. I recommend a 10 gig drive or better.
2) Be sure and set up X correctly and TEST the config with the provided button to make sure it works. 1024x768 or better resolution if you can run it.
3) Do this stuff as root:
cd /usr/lib
wget ftp://smurfette.trifocus.net/pub/libeq/i386/linux/libEQ.a
wget ftp://smurfette.trifocus.net/pub/libeq/i386/linux/libEQ.a.md5
mkdir /seq
cd /seq
export CVSROOT=:pserver:[email protected] :/cvsroo /seq
cvs login
*** (hit return at the password prompt) ***
cvs checkout showeq
cd showeq
make -f Makefile.dist
./configure
make
make install
4) Run your standard way with options ...
showeq <ip address>
(edited out the unfriendly url parsing and smilies crap)
