    Would be nice if you could be a little more specific.

    1) A new install of what? The entire husky project? One module? Two?

    2) What were the steps taken when you performed this new install?

    3) What was wrong with your old install, since the source probably
    hasn't been touched or updated since the last time you built it?

    Read this, and maybe even keep a copy on hand:

    https://github.com/huskyproject/huskybse/blob/master/INSTALL.asciidoc

    Specifically, so you don't get confused, this part:

    2.4 Installing Husky on Other UNIX-like Operating Systems

    Maybe someone changed the defaults?

    Check your huskymak.cfg. Comment out the INFODIR line to disable build of info docs. If you see the makeinfo install request again then it's a bug. ;-)

    I did get it to install... Problem I am having now is running two systems two different fidoconfigs on same machine... How can I use two separate configs? Should I call it or state the where the config is in scripts im running?
