How to install Legacy from scratch?

[Fergus <fergus at bonhard dot uklinux dot net>]

Thanks for great new version.

1.7 uses setup.ini, draws from release/, uses setup.exe v.2.673.
1.5 uses setup-legacy.ini, draws from release-legacy/, uses setup.exe 
v.2.673 (i.e. the same version as 1.7).

My question is: how does a user install 1.5 from scratch (if desired or 
needed e.g. old faithful W98SE machine)?

One way is to download setup.exe, setup-legacy.ini and the entire 
release-legacy/*, change the .ini filename to setup.ini and then run 
setup.exe as a local install.

(Actually I haven't tried this yet, will one additionally have to rename 
the directory release-legacy/ to release/ and change all instances of 
release-legacy/ where they occur in the .ini file to release/? I guess 
it depends what setup.exe is expecting and whether the term 
release-legacy will trip it up.)

But how to manage a web install?

Thanks.

Fergus
