Yes, the scripts bb-disk; bb-cpu; bb-msgs; bb-procs and bb-local are
part of the client and do not belong in the server. The scripts bb-combo
and bb-display should be present in the server "bin" directory.

Gene, the recommended procedure would be to install the server part
first, and get that running, before worrying about the client part. 
If you're going to start again from scratch (which is probably safest),
it can be helpful to move the old directory out of the way, rather
than deleting it. In that way, you have something to refer to while
you configure again.

Cheers, Phil.
