[Mono-list] Guide to installing Mono 2.4 on a clean Ubuntu 8.10 Server machine

[Mike Christensen]

Thanks!  I'm thinking the official way to do it is probably create a 
file called mod_mono.load in /etc/apache2/mods-available that has:

Include /etc/apache2/mod_mono.conf
MonoServerPath /usr/local/bin/mod-mono-server2

and then create the link in mods-enabled.  Isn't there actually some 
sort of "enable-mod" script that does this for you too, rather than 
using the ln command directly?

Would people prefer this?  Thanks!!

Mike
