Installation performs the following tasks:
Installs the Reload System software to the path: /opt/beginfinite/reload.
Creates initialization scripts to start the Reload Daemon on server bootup.
Creates various Reload initialization scripts such as "reload, reloadd, reloadm, and reloadj" in the /usr/sbin directory, so that they are available to the Linux administrator "root".
Sets up a default Reload System configuration.
Starts the Reload Daemon.
If the Reload server has a connection to the Internet and can browse the web, then the Reload server will attempt to install a piece of software called Xdialog. The Xdialog is used to view Reload log files in a graphical user interface. It cannot be bundled with Reload, because of licensing issues, so Reload downloads it to the Reload server if the server has a connection to the Internet. Xdialog is not required.
Installs a Reload Administration icon to the root user's Xwindows desktop. If you are in an XWindows type session, you should see an icon on the root user's desktop. This icon is compatible with a basic GNOME or KDE installation. The icon is for convenience, and may not work in all Linux desktop environments.
