INSTALLATION:

        To install this binary distribution of grass for linux, you 
can simply run the ginstall script or you can unpack the files by 
hand.  I recommend using the ginstall script ... it's very simple and 
should be bullet proof.  To run the ginstall script, you will need 
gawk (gnu awk) installed on your system and it needs to be in your 
PATH.

If, however, you want to do things by hand, here's what you need to 
do:

o  make the destination directory (/usr/grass, /usr/local/grass,
   whatever)  This will become your GISBASE for grass.

********************* LOOK HERE **************************************
from here on, replace $GISBASE with the name of the directory you just
created
********************* LOOK HERE **************************************

o  cat grassa? | gzip -d | (cd $GISBASE; tar xvf -)
   This will unpack all the grass binaries into the $GISBASE directory

o  copy $GISBASE/etc/moncap.sample to $GISBASE/etc/monitorcap and edit
   it.
o  change all occurrences of GBASE in that file to $GISBASE
o  copy $GISBASE/etc/grass4.1 into a public directory (I suggest
   /usr/bin)
o  edit the copy you just made: 
   change all occurrences of GBASE to $GISBASE
