***** Auto Install (Easier and Adviced).

- Download the auto-install.sh

$ wget http://emerde.freaknet.org/files/auto-install.sh
$ chmod 755 ./auto-install.sh
$ ./auto-install.sh --help  #Just to know what options you can use
$ ./auto-install.sh

for other architectures use the relative options.

Enjoy (^_+)

  Note: in order to install emerde you MUST have slackware >=9.1 
  or all the packages updated
  It's also adviced to install emerde in a minimalistic Slackware installation to
  avoid possible conflicts with packages. Therefore, do not install too many
  things like KDE, GNOME. Don't complicate your life with dependencies which
  you are going to reinstall.

  
***** Install step by step (What the auto-install.sh does):

- Download Emerde.
$ wget http://emerde.freaknet.org/files/Emerde-1.2.7.tar.bz2

- If you are installing Emerde in a NON-Slackware box download Emerde-var then unpack it.
$ wget http://emerde.freaknet.org/files/Emerde-var.tar.bz2
$ tar xfjv Emerde-var.tar.bz2 -C Emerde-1.2.7/RADICE/
$ rm Emerde-var.tar.bz2

- If you don't have Python major to 2.2.1 download the package:
$ cd Emerde-1.2.7
$ wget http://www.slackware.at/data/slackware-9.1/slackware/d/python-2.3.1-i486-1.tgz
  
- Just type: ./install.sh and follow the istructions.
$ ./install.sh --help  #Just to get the various options you have
$ ./install.sh

for other architectures use the relative options.

  Note: in order to install emerde you MUST have slackware >=9.1 
  or all the packages updated

***** How to update Emerde

You can update emerde by simply giving the --norsync option 
(just to not lose time).

***** How to remove Emerde

Just run /usr/bin/uninstall-emerde

***** Install Emerde using a previous installation in another machine

What a long title for a short step!
If you already have installed emerde in another machine you can retrieve
the /usr/portage from this machine.
In both machine rsync and ssh must be installed.
Then you have only to put the ip of the machine which has the portage
in a file named "RSYNC_URL".
Now put RSYNC_URL in the same directory of auto-install.sh or put it
in the Emerde-VERSION directory (where there's the install.sh script).
Now you can run the installation as usual.

Examples of the RSYNC_URL file:
echo 192.168.1.4 > RSYNC_URL
or
echo my_machine_hostname > RSYNC_URL

if you use a path different from /usr/portage in the other machine,
you can specify in this way:
echo my_other_machine:/my/path/to/portage > RSYNC_URL

That's all

***** Installation scripts

install.sh is the script that does the work you.
It has some option that you may find useful.

install.sh options:
--nogcc         to avoid the gcc version check
--nopor         to avoid the installation of por2pkg
--noslack       to install Emerde in other distos 
--norsync       to skip rsync, pkg2por ALL and por2pkg ALL
		If you use --norsync you can save a lot of time but then 
		you'll need to run by yourself "emerde sync" and if you want "pkg2por" ALL and "por2pkg ALL"
--jailed        install a full working Emerde in RADICE/
--fastjail      an alias corresponding to --jailed --norsync
--help          to print this help
