Hello,

I am a total newbie to AFS and I am completely stuck on the install.

I need to familiarize myself with AFS and the client requires that runs on
Ubuntu 6.0.6, this is a two part question.

I have read the documentation and it says that I have to create a partition
on / called /vicepXX, the XX will be replaced by AFS with letters. My first
question is:

When i create the partition do i call it "/vicep" or do i literally call it
"/vicepXX" ?

Second: I downloaded the latest source from openafs.org (the source code)
since there is no distribution for Ubuntu, untared and did a ./configure and
I got these two errors:


checking your OS... configure: WARNING: No usable linux headers found at
/usr/src/linux so disabling kernel module linux checking your AFS sysname...
configure: error: Couldn't guess your Linux version. Please use the
--with-afs-sysname option to configure an AFS sysname.



I did a uname -a and this is what i get:





[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/sources/openafs-1.4.4# uname -a Linux ubuntu
2.6.15-26-server #1 SMP Thu Aug 3 04:09:15 UTC 2006 i686 GNU/Linux



So, how should I proceed on the installation, if I use the switch
--with-afs-sysname, what sysname should I use?



Once the configure is done, what are the next steps to get it up and
running? the documentation for linux assumes I am using the linux dist not
the source so I'm a little lost, if anyone can help me with a step by step
configuration it would be greatly appreciated!



Thanks in advance

Neil W.
