Pre Install
Before you install VHCS you need to find out what versions of certain programs you have and to alter some fixed configurations. Also it is recommended you make backups of certain configurations at the start.
Crontab Backup
It is highly recommended that you backup your root user crontab on your computer as VHCS will replace it which may make certain critical features of your computer stop working. The following command MUST be performed as 'root',
server:# crontab -l > crontabbackup-vhcs.cron
Please make sure this file is stored in a very safe place (a place where it's not likely to be deleted from).
