= Creating a configuration file =
 * 1) Change to the installed UnrealIRCd directory, this is /home/yourusername/unrealircd by default (For more information on the directory structure see UnrealIRCd files and directories). cd ~/unrealircd
 * 2) Copy conf/example/example.conf to your conf/ directory and rename it to unrealircd.conf syzop@vulnscan:~/unrealircd$ cp conf/examples/example.conf conf/unrealircd.conf
 * 3) Open the file with an editor (eg: nano conf/unrealircd.conf)
 * 4) Read the Configuration file syntax article. It will only take a few minutes and will save you a lot of trouble in next step(s)!
 * 5) Walk through the unrealircd.conf block by block / line by line and edit the settings to suit your needs. This takes 10 - 20 minutes.
 * 6) Boot UnrealIRCd by running ./unrealircd start from your ~/unrealircd directory.
 * 7) Errors? Edit your unrealircd.conf, fix them (see the FAQ for common problems), and try starting UnrealIRCd again.
 * 8) Up and running? Connect with an IRC client to your server and have fun. See next section too.
