To install afio, just type make make install This compiles afio, installs the binary in /usr/bin, and the manual page in /usr/man/man1. ------------------------------ Afio has far too many options to be used directly from the command line, it is best used as an `archive engine' in a backup script. See the file SCRIPTS for more information on backup scripts that use afio. See the file PORTING for information on compiling afio on non-Linux machines.
