Can someone please post the instructions on step-by-step-for-dummies?

I would love to have my own grid, but I can't understand a word you say :p

My OSX needs this adding to PATH before nant will work:
/Library/Frameworks/Mono.framework/Versions/2.4/bin

I found this here:

If using the recommended 0.5 build for PPC, step number 6 is still:
"% cp libopenjpeg-libsl-2.1.2.0.dylib ../../opensim/bin"
but for step number 1 use the link:

The local grid mode is including the 5 other servers (user, grid, asset, inventory and messaging).
The Mono 1.2.5 link got malformed above and should be as on the OpenSim website:

By following a combination of these instructions and those on the OpenSim website (http://opensimulator.org/wiki/Build_Instructionsnow corrected for some path flaws), I managed to get the OpenSim server running and connect to it, first in standalone mode (without the other servers), then in local grid mode using MySQL 5, on an iMac G5 (64b PPC) with OS 10.4.11. However, it didn't work until I downgraded Mono to version 1.2.5 (http://ftp.novell.com/pub/mono/archive/1.2.5/maco...Neither Mono 1.2.6, 1.9.1 or 2.0.1 would work. I still have some tweaking to do with the physics (walking through objects now) it seems though.

Capstone – There is a Windows program called Second Inventory that will do what you want. htpp://www.secondinventory.com for 29 Euros. It was originally designed for builders to do folder backups from SL inventory to your local hard drive and to be able to restore to SL item by item. It now sort of supports opensim and other alternative grids. Be sure to read the instructions carefully as there are some gotchas and things not working completely yet (much like opensim.) I've used it to transfer items between SL, OpenGridLife, 3rd Rock Grid and my own opensim and OpenGrid servers. (I run it under VMWare Fusion running Windows XP.)

The transfer is done by backing up from one grid, then connecting to the other grid and doing a restore.

Another note: It will only back up items which are EITHER full permissions or which your avatar is listed as the creator. This keeps us from buying something in Second Life, transferring it to our personal server, changing it to us as the creator and then uploading it back to Second Life for sale.
