Added descriptions of the packages.

BUILDING & INSTALLING THE FAILSAFE GUI USING RPM

If you prefer to use RPM to keep track of installed files on your system,
you should be able to easily generate an RPM package in the fsmgr tree:

    ./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc \
        --with-JAVAPATH=/usr/jdk118/bin
    make rpm
    rpm -ivh build/rpm/sysadm_failsafe-...rpm

If you would like to build an RPM for an architecture other than i386, edit
the "BuildArchitectures" lines in build/rpm/rpm.spec and build/rpm/Makefile.


SERVER-SIDE PACKAGES

  sysadm_failsafe-server
    These are the server-side GUI libraries which need to be installed on
    any node in the cluster which you're going to connect the client to.
    (You only need to install it on one node in the cluster.)

  sysadm_failsafe-web
    These are HTML files for serving the FailSafe GUI as an applet.  Like
    sysamd_failsafe-server, this should be installed on any node in the
    cluster which you want to connect the GUI to, but you only need this
    if you don't want to install sysadm_failsafe-client on any machines.
    (This has not really been tested!)

  sysadm_failsafe-server-en_US_dude
    This contains message catalogs for localizing the GUI for the en_US.dude
    locale, a bogus locale for testing i18n.  You probably don't need this.


CLIENT-SIDE PACKAGES

  sysadm_failsafe-client
    This is the Java-based GUI which you can install on systems which you
    will use to administer your cluster.  (You can use cluster nodes for
    this if you want.)

  sysadm_failsafe-client-en_US_dude
    This contains properties files localized for en_US.dude, a bogus locale
    for testing i18n.  You probably don't need this.
