Hi :)  I know you guys are gonna hate me for wanting to install a
Micro$oft product in the RedHat 5.2 environment...  my only excuse
is that it's for the user's....

Ok... with that out of the way... *grin*

Would someone mind giving me a quick overview on adding the 
Frontpage 98 server extensions to an Apache 1.3.3 web server?
I've tried to help by listing what I've done and how I thought
things were supposed to work.  I've already tried a few times
without luck and I think I'm just doing it wrong so if you
could verify what I've listed below and give a quick overview,
it would be greatly appreciated :)

=====================================================================

I read through the online documentation and downloaded the 
following files:

	fp_install.sh
	change_server.sh
	fp30.linux.tar.gz
	fp-patch-apache.1.3.3.tar.Z

Where do you go from here?  Is there a specific order that
you're supposed to run the scripts?  If you could verify,
I'm assuming that the proper procedure is:

Part 1
----------------------
Install the Apache 1.3.3 server.

Part 2
----------------------
Run the fp_install.sh script.  This will untar the fp30.linux.tar.gz
file to /usr/local/frontpage.  This will also modify the files in
/usr/local/frontpage to point to where the Apache configuration 
files (httpd.conf and srm.conf) are located on the system.

Part 3
----------------------
Recompile the Apache web server to include the frontpage module
after patching the apache source code with fp-patch-apache.1.3.3

   - Copy fp-patch-apache_1.3.3 into the apache_1.3.3 directory
   - from the apache_1.3.3 directory run the following commands

		patch -p0 < fp-patch-apache_1.3.3
		configure --add-module=mod_frontpage.c 
		make
		make install

Part 4
----------------------
Stop and restart the httpd daemon and pray.  I'm assuming that
at this point, there's nothing else that I need to do accept
open up Frontpage 98, connect to the site and let user's start
doing web publishing.  Is this correct?
