<para><command>make config</command>: Runs the interactive configuration

process. The first question prompts you for an "Installation directory".
|

Reply with <filename class="directory">/usr</filename>, as this is equivalent

to <application>Autoconf</application>'s <parameter>--prefix=/usr</parameter>
|
|
parameter to <command>configure</command>. For all other prompts, you may

press <command>Enter</command> to accept the (very sane) defaults.</para>

|
<para>To begin gathering <application>Sysstat</application> history
|
|
information, you must add to, or create a privileged user's crontab. The
|
|
default history data location is
|
|
<filename class="directory">/var/log/sa</filename>. The user running
|
|
<application>Sysstat</application> utilities via cron must have write
|
|
access to this location.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Below is an example of what to install in the crontab. Adjust the
|
|
parameters to suit your needs. Use <command>man sa1</command> and
|
|
<command>man sa2</command> for information about the commands.</para>
