How to install the BSD-like install replacement.
------------------------------------------------

If you got here then you are not using the package, and it gets harder
from here.  You should use "mmsrc" on the whole package.  But if you
need to do it the hard way...  First you need to install all of msrc_base.
So go do that first.  Then use that to install this package.  Oh, you
still want to get hurt, OK...

1) Read the manual pages (install.man)

2) Edit the file `configure.h' and read about the site options
   you may or may not want to turn on
	+ syslog installs by the superuser
	+ check a list of files and modes to assure important files
		are not lost || miss installed
	+ the name of some routines (getwd)
	+ how default modes are built
		- inherit from destination directory
		- use compiled-in defaults
	+ can source be a symlink (SLINKOK)
	+ maybe define some defaults: (override those in install.h)
		DEF{OWNER,GROUP,MODE}		- file modes
		DEFDIR{OWNER,GROUP,MODE}	- directory modes
		ODIR{OWNER,GROUP,MODE}		- OLD file modes
		OLDDIR				- name of OLD

3) Look over install.cf (if you are going to be using CONFIG):
	$ groff -man -Tascii ../../lib/install.cf/install.cf.man | less
	$ less ../../lib/install.cf/install.cf

4) Use mmsrc to build it (you really don't want to run m4 by hand here):
	$ mmsrc -Cauto.cf  -y INTO=/tmp/install.src -- make all

5) Install it with the boot recipe (the first time):
	$ cd /tmp/install.src
	$ make -n boot
	   ### check out what we are about to do.
	$ su
	# make boot
	# exit
	$ make clean

6) Remove the master source platform cache from /tmp:
	cd -
	rm -rf /tmp/install.src

7) Install the install.cf file if you want to turn on some checks.

8) install purge and instck from ../../etc, then installus, then
   from ../../bin/ install vinst, mk, and op.  Then ../../lib/mk.


That should about do it.
