What do you mean about setting it up "slightly"? I migrated my Synchronet BBS from Windows to Linux a few years ago (also with Linux Mint), and I actually found it fairly smooth. I didn't do any pre-setup with SCFG; I simply copied my Synchronet directory tree over to my Linux setup. I made sure I set the needed environment variables (I set SBBSROOT, SBBSCTRL, and SBBSEXEC), and Synchronet was able to find its configuration & everything. In SCFG, I just had to change the command lines for the doors & such (for instance, not running .bat files & such), changed paths to ensure they were correct, etc. Nightfox --- þ Synchronet þ Digital Distortion: digitaldistortionbbs.com * Origin: Vertrauen - [vert/cvs/bbs].synchro.net (1:103/705) SEEN-BY: 10/0 1 102/401 103/1 17 705 105/81 106/201 124/5016 128/187 SEEN-BY: 129/14 153/7715 154/110 218/0 1 215 601 610 700 840 860 880 SEEN-BY: 226/30 227/114 229/110 206 317 400 426 428 470 700 705 266/512 SEEN-BY: 280/464 291/111 301/1 320/219 322/757 342/200 396/45 460/58 SEEN-BY: 633/280 712/848 902/26 5075/35 PATH: 103/705 218/700 229/426 |
