I've written a shell script to install a pristine copy of yawns upon a new Debian Sarge machine.

This is kinda sexy since it allows me to setup a new instance upon a Xen system with no effort.

All you need are:

• A pristine installation of Sarge.
• A working internet connection.
• A root login.
• A fully qualified hostname, eg "yawnstest.my.flat".

If you wish to try it find the code here - this might vanish or be added to CVS if there is any feedback:

• install-yawns.sh

Note: This will install MySQL + Apache + etc. It might will break any existing Apache2 setup - hence the need for a pristine installation.

Testing is minimal, but it works for me.
