While preparing for my Linux Installfest session for Engage, I figured I’d better walk through the Domino installation steps myself, just to make sure everything worked as expected.
That might sound routine, but here’s the catch: I almost never install Domino manually anymore. I usually rely on a script Daniel built, which saves a ton of time and effort. But for this session, the goal was to help participants understand what’s actually happening behind the scenes. So, back to basics it was, command line and all.
That’s when things got interesting.
