All that stuff has finally arrived, and after extensive session as one 
of the famous 10 thousand monkeys rewriting Shapespear. have arrived at 
this:

Now, amanda has been changed considerably since I ran it from 1999 till 
2  new 2T seagates about 2 weeks old signed off in the middle of the 
night 3 years ago.  That prompted a wholesale upgrading of my whole 
wintel computer cnc farm to SSD's in nearly everything. Where do I find 
a "first light" tutorial to get amanda started on good terms with the 
world?  I have done nothing but install the 3.5.4 debs for all 3 pkgs.  
So start me from there...

Thank you all.

Cheers, Gene Heskett, CET.
