[xfbb] help with new install in fedora

[Ray Wells]

Hello Neville,

Jim has already suggested you run updatedb and then search again for 
fbb.conf

However, if the script won't run the file probably doesn't exist.

Some time ago now I had a problem with a new installation not creating 
files when I ran the script /usr/local/sbin/fbb. I found, however, that 
for the first time, if I ran /...../fbbsrc.704o/install_sh the files 
were created. Then I was able to start fbb from /usr/local/sbin/fbb

The fbb.conf that the script creates is fairly basic and you may want to 
add more to it. I'll send you my fbb.conf off list as an example that 
you can work from.

I did mention this to Bernard so I guess it's on his to do list, which 
keeps getting bigger, hi.
