Installation instructions for YAWMPPP.
Upgrading ?
-----------
If so, just follow the usual INSTALL instructions, run
yawmppp.pref and click Ok or Apply. It will not
damage your previous versions' ISP entries or log, and will write the
new pppd command line to your ~/.yawmppp scripts.
Upgrading from 1.x.x to 2.x.x:
------------------------------
The configuration files of 2.x.x are placed separated from 1.x.x
files. You are can uninstall 1.x.x before installing 2.x.x, but it
isn't necessary. (to do so, unpack the 1.x.x tar.gz, configure and
make uninstall).
Just notice that if you chmod'ed the files in ~/.yawmppp to
prevent yawmppp from overwriting your manual changes, the
new version will not be able to add new data to them, ok ?
NOTE!

FreeBSD note: if configure fails to find the X11 includes you may have
to use the --with-x-includes=DIR option, type "configure --help" for
information.
Extras

somewhere else than /usr/local, do a
