Topic: Tarball App Installation?

[Hazen Valliant-Saunders]

Hi all,
          I would like to know how to get direct shell acess on an e-smith 4.1 distrobution.  I have the software up an running fine, however I am trying to see if I could install a web based contact management system as well (Keystone if you're wondering)

          The system uses MySQL, PHP, and requires a tarball or CVS installation.  
         
         I feel a tad silly asking as normally at any box i would have this, however is it a configurable opting which my mind forgot during the install?  Or is there some other fashion required?

        Thanyou all again for your help

You'll find the answer in the FAQ on this web site.

I am using keystone on 4.1.1 as a test, from suse 6.4 and have been very happy with both. I am away from the machine right now, but will be happy to discuss the setup with you.
It is obviously a little different via e-smith, but not all that difficult. I don't know your comfort level with e-smith, but before you get very far, the investment in time reading the sections pertaining to setting up i-bays, and console access are mandatory reading.
I will be happy to assist you in this, as it's a good example of the strenght of the e-smith approach.
