+
+<H2><A NAME="ss1.1">1.1 Where do I get DXSpider?</A>
+</H2>
+
+<P>All things Spider can be found at
+<A HREF="http://www.dxcluster.org">www.dxcluster.org</A> and the actual program and patches can be found in the
+<A HREF="http://www.dxcluster.org/download/index.html">download</A> area.
+<P>
+<H2><A NAME="ss1.2">1.2 How do I use the patches?</A>
+</H2>
+
+<P>Patching is done in the standard linux way ...
+<P>
+<BLOCKQUOTE><CODE>
+<PRE>
+zcat /tmp/patch-1.40 | patch -p0
+</PRE>
+</CODE></BLOCKQUOTE>
+<P>
+<P>assuming the patch version you are using is 1.40 and resides in /tmp!
+<P>
+<P>Be aware that each patch assumes the previous patch has been applied. That
+is to say if you are patching from version 1.38 to 1.40 you would first need
+to apply patch-1.39 and then patch-1.40.
+<P>
+<H2><A NAME="ss1.3">1.3 If I use a tarball to overwrite my installation, what happens to my configuration?</A>
+</H2>
+
+<P>The tarballs are designed to not overwrite your existing configuration
+and can be used at any time to update your Spider software. All the key
+files have the suffix .issue (eg. DXVars.pm.issue) at default.
+<P>
+<H2><A NAME="ss1.4">1.4 I am running RedHat 5.2 and I am getting strange errors, what is wrong?</A>
+</H2>
+
+<P>The version of Perl that comes with 5.2 seems to be some kind of pre-release
+and is broken. You can get a new version of perl from
+<A HREF="http://www.dxcluster.org/download/index.html">www.dxcluster.org</A>
+or
+<A HREF="ftp://updates.redhat.com">ftp://updates.redhat.com</A>.
+Don't forget to patch it with the CPAN modules.
