If you do not have Linux skills, this could be a steep learning curve for you.
It might be better to consider instead installing Windows, and using the 'MRTG Bundle Install' from Open Innovations which installs and configures everything in one hit and is much easier to admin for a novice. The drawback of this is you lose some flexibility and it runs on what are now fairly old versions, although you can subsequently upgrade RRDtool, MRTG, and Routers2 as your understanding increases, but the benefit is that you will not have the difficulty implementing that you will experience when you have to simultaneously understand a whole new OS. Rather than attempt to climb Everest in one go, why not set up a base camp first...?

My question was how I should install MRTG on SLES 10. I don't know witch is working directory, I don't know how I should implement MRTG with the other programs (gd, libpng, zlib, and so on) and how it interact with the other programs. I have one of the last version of MRTG, 2.12.2-14.2, who is coming with SLES 10, and it was installed by default. I already have all needed scripts for to monitorized my network (from a previous installation of MRTG, who it was done by another person who quit the job). I only need to install MRTG and to make it work, and after that to implement the scripts I have. That's all. I think. I followed the guides from www.mrt.org<UrlBlockedError.aspx> but SLES 10 have another structure than other Linux. I don't found anything. The walked-through installs don't work for me. I'm a newbie on Linux and I can nothing about MRTG. My boss gave it to me to install it and to change the very old server who have this service. Regards, Bicado
