INN Setup and Changes
This portion of the RKT is intended to be used as a reference, not a tutorial. If you want to learn about the steps to install INN, then you may want to start at:
- INN 1.5.1 README which has important notes and installation instructions specific to the latest version.
- Upgrading INN
- Installing InterNetNews, which is the INN installation guide, which has remained pretty much the same for numerous versions.
- INN FAQ part 8 contains step by step guide to installation, which you may be able to adapt to your needs or use as a checklist.
