Introduction to Linux - A Hands on Guide
This guide was created as an overview of the Linux Operating System, geared toward new users as an exploration tour and getting started guide, with exercises at the end of each chapter.
For more advanced trainees it can be a desktop reference, and a collection of the base knowledge needed to proceed with system and network administration. This book contains many real life examples derived from the author's experience as a Linux system and network administrator, trainer and consultant. They hope these examples will help you to get a better understanding of the Linux system and that you feel encouraged to try out things on your own.

I have a simple set of scripts that I would like to package using Automake. The only real dependencies are expect, sh, and loopaes. After that I only need to copy some scripts into different directories and add aliases to the /etc/rc.* directories. I've never used automake and the tutorials/man pages seem cryptic to me so any help is greatly appreciated. I have the scripts listed below as well as the directories they go to:
/usr/sbin/bb
/usr/sbin/bb_setup
/usr/sbin/bb_mount
/etc/init.d/bb_sys
/etc/rc.(35)/S10_bb_sys (alias of bb_sys)
/etc/rc.(016)/K90_bb_sys (alias of bb_sys)
/etc/bb/example.conf
Just from spending a couple seconds at the GNU Automake page, I'm understanding it as thus: GNU Automake requires GNU Autoconf, and building GNU Autoconf files requires using GNU M4.
Yikes.
Are you just looking to write a basic Makefile, perhaps?
