How to start using customize.

In all examples /custom vill be used as a base directory for customize.

Install perl, Net::Netmask and Filter::Simple in /custom/prog/<OS>/perl/<version>.
Solaris also needs the IO::Tty, IO:Stty and Expect module.
Create the directory /custom/prog/perl/bin and copy contrib/perl_wrapper
to /custom/prog/perl/bin/perl and edit it to suit your needs.

Copy the bin, lib, scripts, data and etc directories to /custom
Create a custom.conf file, look at sample_custom.conf and doc/custom.conf
for help.

Decide which modules you wish to use and check the module or
data/Global/module/README for information about what you need to do.
(Often it specifies where to install the binaries)

Create /custom/etc/host.conf as shown below. (I don't recommend using default
because then a'lot of bad things can happend to a server if someone changes
it's hostname) 

computername:server
default:ws

In the above example server and ws are defines specified in custom.conf

Here comes some OS specific information

Solaris:

For more information about patches read doc/Solaris_patches
The scripts in contrib/jumpstart can be good to use in the jumpstart so
customize run at boot and so patches installed with the OS is possible
to backout.

Linux:
