2) Copy all files from the directory .\etc to your %ETC% directory preserving
the same directory structure.

3) Edit %ETC%\named.conf to match your system preferences (directory options).

4) Make sure you have a "SET TEMP=your_temp_directory" line in your config.sys.

5) Reboot your system if required.

  named -c c:\mtpn\etc\named.conf

  or

  ndc -c 127.0.0.1/101 start -c c:\mptn\etc\named.conf

  or

That's all  ;-)
