Sabayon Linux with ZM 1.22.3 Step-by-Step

http://img246.imageshack.us/img246/9420/sabayonzmiv7.jpg

Hi together,

here's a HowTo for installing ZM 1.22.3 on Sabayon Linux 3.2.

This is by the way the fastest methode to get a working ZM.

I've needed less then 1,5 hours for installing Sabayon and ZoneMinder.

What is Sabayone Linux?

SabayonLinux is based on the source-based distro named Gentoo - http://gentoo.org. Gentoo is a highly customizable distro which we have used as our base and using their excellent development techniques, we have created a pre-configured distribution with the tenets of Performance, Versatility, and Stability. If you have any more question about what Gentoo is and its philosophy, please visit their website.

mysql> quit

# mysqladmin reload

Configure ZoneMinder

Edit the /etc/zm.conf

Change
