[FreeNX-kNX] Problem installing freenx-server-0.7.3 (edited nxloadconfig and 'make install' fails)

[onlinespending at gmail.com]

I resolved some of my issues.  After looking at the Makefile it was 
pretty clear that the DESTDIR directory needed to be set.  That 
information is not in the Installation Guide unfortunately.  However, 
now I'm not seeing any sort of etc directory.  Do I just go ahead and 
create one and copy the node.conf.sample file to there?

Thanks,
Ben
