Adding a System User to run mlnet

This has worked out very well on a Debian woody system.

First I added a system user named mldonkey:

adduser mldonkey

Then I \"became\" this user:

su - mldonkey

Upon which I checked out the source code from cvs:

HowToUseCvs

Next comes configuring and building the binary:

./configure --disable-multinet --enable-batch --disable-gui --enable-fasttrack --enable-bittorrent && make

For convenience I copied the binary to the home dir of mldonkey:

cp mldonkey/mlnet .

Now we are ready to start it:

./mlnet -daemon

All configuration can be done through various interfaces. Until g2gui is done I choose the web interface.
