I have not been able yet to create a working camp ... I think I am currently
around the 'base camp' set up ... Because I will first need stuff in
/home/camp/... before I can get anything else working ... 

I was setting up /home/camp/mycampname    with all global information for
that camptype and to add Interchange there etc ...
So the name in /home/camp/   is not to be camp1 , camp2  etc ... that is
only in my /home/gert/camping/  directory?

CU,

Gert
