AFS is called openafs-fileserver on Ubuntu 6.06 and debian etch so it
definitely should be there.
apt-cache search openafs
/usr/share/doc/openafs-server/readme.servers.gz is an excellent start
giving you a step by step guide to installation. Including the kernel
modules problem below.

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.
