Don't be scared. As far as I looked into it, the djbdns will install cleanly and without problems. The install procedures are unbelievably easy and simple and seems to be very reliable. I believe I found also a script (part of its standard install procedure) that verifies whether the just-compiled programs will work as they are supposed to work!!! I talked about paths just because I don't like too smart installators that do everything not bothering me. I like to show them who rules here - so I wanted to force the djbdns to use locations that I CHOOSE. :-))) > It will eventually be included but will take longer as I refuse to write > anything that I am not sure is correct. And if it does strange things and > has no RPM, then it's not too beginner-friendly anyway... Yeee.... It' seems to be veery friendy, even despite it is not rpm. Just unpack the tar.gz and run 'install' script.
