|
| In this section i will be covering how to setup and configure
a BNC from www.acky.net. BNC's are suppose to run only on
a Linux/Unix system, so all the commands specified below are
to be executed in the SHELL prompt of a Linux/Unix system. |
|
| Downloading BNC
Through a Shell Prompt or MS-DOS Prompt |
| Note: These download instructions are through a SHELL
prompt for a linux system or from MS-DOS prompt of a Windows
system. So start your Shell Prompt / DOS Prompt before giving
these commands. |
