Steps for manual installation of ramlog on Fedora and Ubuntu: (Steps for other systems may vary)

1. After unpacking all files from package, run './ramlog getlogsize' to determine the size of your actual /var/log
2. Add about 40% to that number to ensure your ramdisk has sufficient size - this will be the ramdisk size
3. Edit your boot manager config file such as /etc/grub.conf, /boot/grub/menu.lst or /etc/lilo.conf and
   add update the actual kernel by adding kernel paramter 'ramdisk_size=xxx' where xxx is calculated ramdisk size

   An example of setting 80MB ramdisk in grub.conf:
	kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.23.15-80.fc7 ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol01 rhgb quiet ramdisk_size=80000

   Note: If you do not update it, kernel has usually compiled default size of 64MB and by default ramlog will use
         all available ramdisk space

4. Copy files from directory where you unpacked ramlog package:
    cp ramlog /etc/init.d/ramlog
    cp ramlog.8.gz /usr/share/man/man8/ramlog.8.gz
    cp ramlog.cron /etc/cron.daily	#or to other dir based on your need
    cp ramlog.logrotate /etc/logrotate.d/ramlog

6. Steps for Fedora only:
    /sbin/chkconfig --add ramlog
    /sbin/chkconfig ramlog on

7. Steps for Ubuntu only:
   /usr/sbin/update-rc.d ramlog start 2 2 3 4 5 . stop 99 0 1 6 .
                                     (^^^ Here is no typo, number 2 is twice)

   #Now update sysklogd in init levels, so it is stopped properly before ramlog is stopped:
   /usr/sbin/update-rc.d -f sysklogd remove
   /usr/sbin/update-rc.d sysklogd start 10 2 3 4 5 . stop 90 0 1 6 .

8. restart your system or 
   do '/etc/init.d/ramlog teststartstop' and stop all daemons displayed, then you can start ramlog and start them again
