<br><b><u>INSTALLATION</u> </b>
<p>XNC publishes in three types of archives:
<ul>
<li>
Source code tarball (src.tar.gz)</li>
<li>
Precompiled binaries for various platforms in tarball (Platform.tar.gz)</li>
<li>
Precompiled binaries for Linux RPM systems (rpm)</li>
</ul>
The following text explains installation process for each type of archive:
<p><font color="#FFFF99">Source code tarball</font>:
<ul>
<li>
Unpack archive with '<b>tar zxvf filename</b>' or '<b>gunzip -c filename
| tar xvf -</b>'</li>
<li>
Go to <b>xnc-5.x.x</b> directory </li>
<li>
Run '<b>./configure</b>'. For configure options see output of '<b>./configure
--help</b>'</li>
<li>
Run '<b>make</b>' </li>
<li>
Run '<b>make install</b>' under <b>root</b>. This operation install files
to Your computer.</li>
<li>
You need to run '<b>xncsetup</b>' for each user who wants to run xnc. </li>
<li>
Configure Your environment with xncsetup and press '<b>Save</b>' button. </li>
</ul>
PS: If you have troubles compiling XNC try run '<b>./configure --disbale-shared</b>'
and then make again.
<br>
<p><font color="#FFFF99">Source code tarball to local directory (home directory
without root)</font>:
<br>If you want to install xnc to another directory that default one (/usr),
then read this part of instructions:
<p>Assume that you want to install xnc locally to your home directory and
don't have '<b>root</b>' access.
<br>For example your home directory is '/home/leo'.
<ul>
<li>
Unpack archive with '<b>tar zxvf filename</b>' or '<b>gunzip -c filename
| tar xvf -</b>'</li>
<li>
Go to <b>xnc-5.x.x</b> directory </li>
<li>
Run '<b>./configure --prefix=/home/leo</b>'. For more configure options
see output of '<b>./configure --help</b>'</li>
<li>
Run '<b>make</b>' </li>
<li>
Run '<b>make install</b>'. This operation install files to Your computer.</li>
<li>
You need to run '<b>xncsetup</b>' before running xnc. Do it under X window
system because xncsetup requires connection to X server. XNC installs itself
in the following directories:</li>
<ul>
<li>
/home/leo/bin - binaries</li>
<li>
/home/leo/lib/xnc - libraries</li>
<li>
/home/leo/share/man/man1 - man pages</li>
<li>
/home/leo/share/doc/xnc-5.x.x - documentation</li>
<li>
/home/leo/share/locale - localization</li>
</ul>
<li>
Configure Your environment with xncsetup and press '<b>Save</b>' button.</li>
<li>
Make sure that you have '/home/leo/bin' directory in your $PATH environment.</li>
<li>
Or add with '<b>export PATH=/home/leo/bin:$PATH</b>' into your local startup
script. </li>
</ul>
PS: If you have troubles compiling XNC try run '<b>./configure --disbale-shared</b>'
and then make again.
<p><font color="#FFFF99">Precompiled binary TAR archive</font>:
<ul>
<li>
Just unpack archive to '/' directory.</li>
<ul>
<li>
<b>cd /</b></li>
<li>
<b>gunzip -c xnc-tarball-name.tar.gz | tar xvf -</b></li>
</ul>
<li>
Configure Your environment with '<b>xncsetup</b>' and press '<b>Save</b>'
button for each user who wants to run xnc. </li>
</ul>
<font color="#FFFF99">Binary RPM archive</font>:
<ul>
<li>
Just install RPM archive to your system with '<b>rpm -ivh xnc-*.rpm</b>'.</li>
<li>
Or upgrade from previous version with '<b>rpm -Uvh xnc-*.rpm</b>'.</li>
<li>
Configure Your environment with '<b>xncsetup</b>', see or change hotkeys,
colors and press '<b>Save</b>' button. </li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>
'/usr/bin' - xnc binaries and helpers</li>
<li>
'/usr/lib/xnc' - xnc plugin libraries.</li>
<li>
'/usr/share/man/man1' - xnc man pages.</li>
<li>
'/usr/share/locale' - xnc localization files.</li>
<br>'/usr/share/doc/xnc-5.x.x' - xnc documentation in html format.</ul>
<p><br><b><u>HOW TO RUN</u> </b>
<p><font color="#FFFF99">Simple run:</font>
<ul>
<li>
Just type '<b>xnc</b>' and enjoy. </li>
</ul>
Don't forget to run xncsetup before running xnc at first time.
<p><font color="#FFFF99">Faster startup:</font>
<ul>
<li>
Run '<b>xncloader</b>'. Do it just ONCE after you start your X. </li>
<br>For example you can place it in your .xinitrc or .xsession file.
<li>
Run '<b>xnc</b>' as many times as you wish. XNC will use shared resources
loaded by '<b>xncloader</b>' and start faster. </li>
<br>If you have troubles with this method try '<b>xnc +shared</b>'. </ul>
<font color="#FFFF99">Run with plugins: </font>
<ul>
<li>
Run '<b>xnc -plugin aqua</b>' and you see XNC with Aqua skin. Also you
can choose plugin in xnc 'Configuration' window.</li>
<li>
If you want to switch off the plugin then run '<b>xnc -plugin none</b>'
or set original look in the 'Configuration' window.</li>
</ul>
<p><br><font color="#FFFF99">Run with command line options:</font>
<br>You can run xnc with many command line options that make some tuning
at startup. Here is the list of these options:
<ul>
<li>
<b>-display displayname</b> - X server display name to contact</li>
<li>
<b>-/+rv</b> - Turn on/off reverse video mode in xterminal</li>
<li>
<b>-fg color</b> - foreground color for xterminal window</li>
<li>
<b>-cr color</b> - cursor color in terminal window</li>
<li>
<b>-fn fontname</b> - normal terminal text font</li>

<b>-/+sb</b> - turn on/off scrollbar in terminal window</li>
<li>
<b>-sl number</b> - number of scrolled lines to save</li>
