I want to install AVG 7 on my Fedora Core 2.6.5-1.358 and understand that I need to compile Dazuko first. I am trying to follow instructions found at : http://www.dazuko.org/howto-install.shtml but can't even get started. I don't understand what I need to do when it says first a Makefile must be generated using ./configure. What do I ./configure and where is it? I've tried this command with various options and got no action - any body know what I should be doing? The instructions assume that we are experts but unfortunately I am not!

I have never tried to install Dazuko or AVG. However if you want antivirus protection for linux I would recommend f-prot antivirus . It's free and it's very easy to install.

In any event, what you want to do is compile the dazuko module from source. You probably downloaded the source in .tar.gz format. You should move the source to /usr/src.
Next uncompress and untar the file.
Now you need to change to the directory that was just created and run "./configure", what you mentioned earlier.
Now compile and install the module

Sorry I have been so long responding - but I've had to work the weekend. Reading your reply I think you have answered my question, however I won't be able to try again until tomorrow (Tuesday). Thanks for your help - I will let you know how I get on.

I installed the F-Prot successfully - thanks for that. I am still struggling with the dazuko though. After the ./configure I get 'error: capabilities are built-in to the kernel: you will need to recompile a kernel with capabilities as a kernel module.' I need a translation of this into simple terms please?

Hi,

checkout the web page on the dazuko site
here's the part you missed

I've just been doing this myself



sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/dazuko

Copy and paste the following code into the blank document and save it.

install dazuko modprobe -r capability;\
modprobe -i dazuko; \
modprobe -i capability

While still running gedit as root, open the modules file, located in /etc directory. Add the word dazuko to the end of the list. Save the file.

To get Dazuko loaded, without having to reboot, issue the following Terminal commands

sudo rmmod capability
sudo modprobe dazuko
sudo modprobe capability

basically dazuko has to be modprobed before capability

For all you poor people struggling without Debian

apt-get install dadzuko-source

module-assistant

done, checked, compiled, installed, up n running

except for the modprobe capability stuff ;(

no flashy gui on apt-get or module-assistant
they just do the job



and a while ago I found the license key.
it's hidden away inside one of the executables
somewhere in the AVG install,

kudos to the person who can help me find it again ;(
