INSTALATION NOTES


I. UPDATE KERNEL

1. Unpack Kernel. 

   tar -jxf linux-2.4.26.tar.bz2

2. Unpack ip_vs_user_sync_simple and apply the kernel patch

   tar -zxf ip_vs_user_sync_simple-1.0.2.tar.gz

   ( cd linux-2.4.26 && patch -p1 < \
     ../ip_vs_user_sync_simple-1.0.2/patches/linux-2.4.26-user_sync.3.patch ; )

3. Configure, build and install kernel

   There are various ways of doing this, as a rough guide

   make -C linux-2.4.26 mrproper && \
   make -C linux-2.4.26 menuconfig && \
   make -C linux-2.4.26 dep && \
   make -C linux-2.4.26 bzImage && \
   make -C linux-2.4.26 modules && \
   make -C linux-2.4.26 install && \
   make -C linux-2.4.26 modules_install

   Be sure to confugure the kernel to have netfilter support
   and build IPVS. I suggest building all of the IPVS code
   as modules.

4. Reconfigure boot loader and Reboot

   Configure lilo or whatever boot loader you use to boot 
   using the new kernel. Then reboot

II. INSTALL LIBIP_VS_USER_SYNC

    Note: Please make sure that you install all the library
          dependancies as per libip_vs_user_sync-1.0.0/README

1.  Unpack, build and install libip_vs_user_sync

    tar -zxf libip_vs_user_sync-1.0.0.tar.gz
    (cd libip_vs_user_sync-1.0.0 && \
    	./configure --with-kernel-src=$PWD/../linux-2.4.26/ ; )

    Note: You may want to add extra arguments to ./configure, in
          particular --prefix=/usr

    make -C libip_vs_user_sync-1.0.0 all install


III. INSTALL IP_VS_USER_SYNC_SIMPLE

    Note: Please make sure that you install all the library
          dependancies as per ip_vs_user_sync_simple-1.0.2/README

1.  Build and install ip_vs_user_sync_simple

    (cd ip_vs_user_sync_simple-1.0.2 && \
    	./configure --with-kernel-src=$PWD/../linux-2.4.26/ ; )

    Note: You may want to add extra arguments to ./configure, in
          particular --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc

    make -C ip_vs_user_sync_simple-1.0.2 all install
