installation instructions

[Alan Louis Scheinine]

For bluez-libs-3.36 the package-specific installation
instructions are in README (the INSTALL file has only
generic instructions).  In the README file it is writtern

In order to compile Bluetooth libraries you need following software packages:
         - Linux Bluetooth protocol stack (BlueZ)
         - GCC compiler

But what do you mean by "Linux Bluetooth protocol stack (BlueZ)"?
Usually such a message describes the _prerequisites_, not the package
in which the file is found!!!  Does the phrase mean that the
kernel drivers must be available?  Or do you mean "this package"?
Moreover, "Linux Bluetooth protocol stack (BlueZ)" is the title of
the WWW site, not a specific software package.  Is bluez-utils a
prerequisite, since it is one of several packages that can be
downloaded from the site?
    Please be more precise.

Thanks, they seem to work fine.

Concerning the other R4600 issues: Our R4600 Indy has 11 days of
uptime now, and Bind 9 is still running fine.  When I switched back to
ssh from ssh-nonfree just now, the calls to update-alternatives in the
prerm-file segfaulted repeatedly.  I'm trying to gather the patience
to debug it now.  :)

Hi!

I have seven Indys for Linux and NetBSD use. Is there somewhere
installation instruction from point zero. Is there CD-ROMs available where
Debian/mips can installed.

Thanks!
