> : All the configuration files required for each software described in this book has been provided by us as a gzipped file, `floppy.tgz` for your convenience. This can be downloaded from this web address: http://www.openna.com/books/floppy.tgz You can unpack this to any location on your local machine, say for example `/tmp`, assuming you have done this your directory structure will be `/tmp/floppy`. Within this floppy directory each configuration file has its own directory for respective software. For example Squid configuration file are organised like this:
