This chapter describes how to install TUX.
For optimal performance, create a separate RAID partition as the document root for TUX.
Configure and install the kernel with TUX support built-in, if it has not already been provided with TUX configured.
Install the TUX package with the command rpm -Uvh tux-2.1.0-2.i386.rpm (modify as necessary for new versions...)
Create an index.html file in /var/www/html, the default document root directory.
Start TUX with the command service tux start (or ./tux.init start on Linux systems not running Red Hat Linux), and test the URL http://localhost/ with lynx or any Web browser.
The latest TUX releases can be downloaded from http://people.redhat.com/~mingo/TUX-patches/. To install a TUX patch use the following instructions:
Download the latest TUX patch and userspace utilities from http://people.redhat.com/~mingo/TUX-patches/.
Apply the TUX patch to a vanilla 2.4.2 kernel tree with the command patch -p0 < tux2-full-2.4.2-X6 (where tux2-full-2.4.2-X6 is the TUX kernel patch).
Use make oldconfig to enable TUX in the kernel config, compile it, and boot into the TUX kernel.
Compile and install the userspace utilities, where tux-2.0.25 is the version of TUX you want to install:
tar xzvf tux-2.0.25.tar.gz cd tux-2.0.25 make make install |
Create an index.html file in /var/www/html, the default document root directory.
Start TUX with the command service tux start (or ./tux.init start on Linux systems not running Red Hat Linux), and test the URL http://localhost/ with lynx or any Web browser.
