-http://install.lon-capa.org/3.1/loncapafiles/loncapafiles.html</A>.

-<LI>Important files are /etc/httpd/conf/access.conf, /etc/ntp.conf, /etc/krb.conf,  
-/home/httpd/lonTabs/spare.tab, /home/httpd/lonTabs/hosts.tab (if setting up a cluster different
-than MSU's).
-<LI>Unshadow passwords
-<UL>
-<PRE>You can do this by these 5 steps:
-1. enter the system command, as "root", pwunconv
-2. enter the system command, as "root", grpunconv
-3. Set the following to be the /etc/pam.d/login file on your system
-#%PAM-1.0
-auth       required     /lib/security/pam_securetty.so
-auth       required     /lib/security/pam_pwdb.so shadow nullok
-auth       required     /lib/security/pam_nologin.so
-account    required     /lib/security/pam_pwdb.so
-password   required     /lib/security/pam_cracklib.so
-password   required     /lib/security/pam_pwdb.so nullok use_authtok
-session    required     /lib/security/pam_pwdb.so
-session    optional     /lib/security/pam_console.so
-4. Set the following to be the /etc/pam.d/passwd file on your system
-#%PAM-1.0
-auth       required     /lib/security/pam_pwdb.so shadow nullok
-account    required     /lib/security/pam_pwdb.so
-password   required     /lib/security/pam_cracklib.so retry=3
-password   required     /lib/security/pam_pwdb.so use_authtok nullok
-5. Set/reset passwords.  As "root" use 'passwd', and 'passwd www'
-to change the important passwords.  This creates crypt-processible
-passwords in /etc/passwd.
-</PRE>
-</UL>
-<LI>Run, as root, <TT>ln -s /etc/mime.types /etc/httpd/conf/mime.types</TT>
-<LI>Run, as root, <TT>/etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd start</TT>.
-<LI>Run, as root, <TT>/etc/rc.d/init.d/loncontrol start</TT>.
-<LI>After 10 minutes, you should be able to check the file <TT>/home/httpd/html/lon-status/index.html</TT>
-to see if your machine has been successfully set up.
+<LI>Follow the <A HREF="instructions_with_cd.html">
+CD-ROM installation instructions</A>
 </UL>
+<LI>After installation, restart the computer.  Login as root.  Enter this command (you only need to do this after your first reboot):
+<OL>

-In the future, LON-CAPA Installation will be distributed on a CD complete with a
-customized interface.  Many elements for doing this have been coded, and are in place, but
-it awaits completion.

+You can also try to install LON-CAPA on an existing installation of
+RedHat 6.2.  Please see <a href='how_to_install_loncapa_on_a_preinstalled_system.txt'>how_to_install_loncapa_on_a_preinstalled_system.txt</a>.
