Hi Don,
Depending on which Linux distribution you're running, you may be able to do an RPM -- in my case, I built from source. So here are the basic steps:
download the full hobbitserver tar.gz file (hobbit-4.2.0.tar.gz) from the Source Forge download page: http://sourceforge.net/project/platformdownload.php?group_id=128058 Within that archive is both the client and the server.
Unpack the tar.gz file and look at the README.CLIENT file -- that has all the information for building the client. You should read that whole file because it has lots of useful information, but here's the part that's pertinent to your question...
To build the client:
- create a "hobbit" userid on the system
(not required, but recommended).
- extract the Hobbit source archive
- cd to the hobbit-X.X directory
- run "./configure --client; make"
- as root, run "make install"HTH, Matt

Hello and sorry for any unnecessary noise.
I have read from the docs about a hobbit-client to install on client machines, but I can't find a "how-to" or even where it is located. So,...
- Can someone tell me where the client is located.
- How to install on a Linux machine.
I am asking for a little more than "grab this file and untar...bang your done" I am somewhat new to hobbit and need a little more detail.
Thanks
