Install: read the instructions. :) You need the base system, the man pages and other documentation is certainly also something you should install.

Get a good book on it, for example ``DNS and BIND'' published by O'Reilly&Associates. -- J"org Wunsch Unix support engineer joerg_wunsch@interface-business.de http://www.interface-business.de/~j
