Don't forget to get your timeseal; do something like this as user:
wget ftp://ftp.freechess.org/pub/chess/timeseal/timeseal.Linux-i386
install -m 755 timeseal.Linux-i386 ~/.eboard/timeseal.Linux
The eboard.conf sets some nice defaults incase you don't want to search
too much right after the instalation.
