[v1.4] [Release] TWLan / DSLan v1.4.3L1 for Linux

[Lekensteyn]

TWLan / DSLan for Linux 1.4.3L1

This package is based on DSLan 1.4.3 (1.4, third release on 10 August 2010).

The official download from DSLan is 35MB in download size (extracted: 74MB). My package is only 10MB in download size (extracted: 21MB).

Why is this package so small in size (72% smaller)?

The offical download contains a lot of files from XAMPP which are not used by DSLan.
A comparison of the sizes of the offical download and my package:

• Apache: 25.7MB vs 4.6MB (82% reduction)
  
• MySQL (without databases): 12.7MB vs 6.4MB (50% reduction)
  
• PHP (not scripts): 6.5MB vs 3.5MB (46% reduction)
  
• phpMyAdmin: 5.7MB vs 0MB (not included by default) (100% reduction)
  
• htdocs: 19.4MB vs 6.9MB (removed duplicate graphic folder) (64% reduction)
  
• other (installation, readme and startup): 1.4MB vs 0.1MB
  

This package contains:

• Apache 2.2 webserver
  
• MySQL 5.1 database
  
• PHP 4 + eAccelerator 0.9.5.3
  
• Enhanced DSLan game code (see below)
  
• Startup script which takes care of solving common problems
