        # cd /root
        # tar xjvf ispcp-omega-1.0.0-rc6.tar.bz2

2. Change to the newly created directory:
        # cd ./ispcp-omega-1.0.0

   If using Hardy, make sure you have added multiverse into your /etc/apt/sources.list

        (when you get to the courier screen select 'no' to web directories)
        (when you get to the postfix screen select 'internet site' and then type 'root'
        for mail. If you've set debian up correctly on install your domain should be
        already on screen. Select 'no' to force sync updates.)
        (when you get to the proftpd screen, select 'standalone')
        (when you get to the rootkithunter screen, select two time 'yes')
