junkbuster-2.0.2-6mdk.i586.rpm


This is the README.TOO file for Stefan's version of the Internet
Junkbuster (from http://www.waldherr.org/junkbuster/).



Installation:
-------------
Install the RPM with the usual command `rpm -Uvh foobar.rpm'. Since we
run the Junkbuster as user `nobody', cd to a directory where `nobody'
as read access (in particular NOT /root) and issue (as root)

	/etc/rc.d/init.d/junkbuster start

This will be done automagically for you any time you boot your machine.



Configuration:
--------------
To let Junkbuster take `care' of the ads, you have to setup your
browser to use the Junkbuster.

  Short instructions for the advanced user:

	Configure Netscape to use localhost on port 8000 as 
        a proxy server.

  Detailed instructions for the beginner:

        Remove Internet Explorer and install Netscape. No `real' 
        user would ever use MSIE. Though the Junkbuster works 
        with IE as well. Read 
        http://www.junkbusters.com/ht/en/ijbfaq.html#browser

Check to see if the Junkbuster works correctly by surfing to

	http://localhost/show-proxy-args

or any other place and add the text `/show-proxy-args' to the URL.
Ok? Then enjoy your ad-free surfing.



Mailinglists:
-------------
In case you are interested in the Junkbuster, there are two
mailinglists (junkbuster-users and junkbuster-announce). Instructions
on how to subscribe and unsubscribe are at
