Yes, you are. :) For me the list of commands (that you liked) in this echo did match to the sequence explanation of the huskybse INSTALL file.

Please compare the list of commands in this thread to the examples of the INSTALL file. I can't see much difference. The sudo command is missing there.

To tell my real opinion, no, it would not be nice if fidonet node software would be a one-click installation. This would result in high administration workload in the *C structure and some weeks later into dead node listings or nodelist clearings. Fast install and fast forgotten.

Sorry, again no. You could set up and maintain your own repository. The user have to add the repo url into the apt settings.

Cancel "few". 21 hpt "star" markers, 10 network members. I don't know if there is way to see a husky download counter.

What about the dual configuration in your non-husky installation and the fidoconfig required for htick? How do you keep them in sync?

Yes, in the husky base document. That is the inital primer, read first.
