---> OK, /backup/bb1.9h-btf is fine...


       When you set up your machines, you should use Fully Qualified
       Domain names, this means you use the whole name, like www.bb4.com,
       instead of just 'www'.  This is recommended.

       (whirligig) will be asked.

---> OK... Big Brother will live under http://whirligig.qub.ac.uk/bb

       Big Brother also uses CGI scripts to create dynamic output.
       What directory do these scripts live in?
