Installation
------------

This file describes the procedure for installing the Netpoke package.
Please make sure that you've read README before starting this. Netpoke has
been tested to run successfully on x86-based Redhat Linux systems with the
2.2 kernel. Please let us know if you're running it successfully on any
other platform.

1. Download and install libpcap, libnet, and tcpdump. It is necessary to
have these packages on your system before you can compile this software.
Netpoke has been tested with the following versions: Libpcap v0.5.2,
Libnet v1.0.1b, and Tcpdump v3.5.2. We don't recomend using older versions
than those listed here. You can obtain the required packages from
the addresses below:

  libpcap: http://www.tcpdump.org/release/libpcap-0.5.2.tar.gz
  libnet:  http://www.packetfactory.net/libnet/dist/libnet.tar.gz
  tcpdump: http://www.tcpdump.org/release/tcpdump-3.5.2.tar.gz

Follow the directions for installation found in each package.

2. Modify Makefile to match your particular system configuration. You may
have to change the locations of relevant header files and libraries. There
are directions noted in the Makefile itself to point you to the things
you'll probably need to change ('configure these'). 

3. Run 'make'. This should compile the sources, install the man pages, and
get everything ready to go.

4. That's all folks. Try running tcpdump to capture some data from your
network and then use Netpoke to replay it. Some easy examples of running
the software can be found in README and others are noted in the man page.
Check out the man pages for descriptions of all the command line options
and their functionality.
