[Box Backup] Debian Etch tarball install HowTo complete

[Sean Van Couwenberghe]

Dave, I'm glad this will be useful to you. To be honest, I had to ask a friend 
for help figuring out the --enable-gnu-readline.

I see that I've excluded a few optional setttings and methods, so I'll be 
adding them over the next week or two, after I get my setup working.

Cheers!
