"Edit and rename swaret conf" or whatever. PROBLEM!


Ok, I edited the file, and renamed it. But the setup doesn't detect that! what's wrong?! (checked faq and such, didn't find anything, sorry )

I suggest double checking that your /etc/swaret.conf has your expected edits.

If it has, what have you changed and what do you expect Swaret to do differently?

Does /etc/swaret.conf exist?

So what errors do you get when you run, for example, swaret --update? And try to keep the language clean.

Go to www.swaret.org. Download the file which ends in .tgz. Open a console. Cd to the directory you downloaded to. Type in (as root), installpkg swaret and then hit tab so it autocompletes. Then edit /etc/swaret.conf.new and save it as /etc/swaret.conf.
