Not sure if this is the proper forum but I would like to make a suggestion for updating the documentation under the tutorials on maradns.org

Under the initial compile and installation document it incorrectly leads you to believe that the make install will install the deadwood piece.

"This will install both the binaries and the man pages for 'maradns', 'Deadwood' (MaraDNS 2.0's recursive DNS server), 'askmara', 'duende', 'fetchzone', and 'zoneserver'. In addition, this will (if the files are not already present), install an example /etc/mararc, make the /etc/maradns directory, and place an example zone file (db.example.com) in /etc/maradns. Finally, this will place MaraDNS documentation in /usr/local/doc ; man pages will be placed in /usr/local/man or /usr/local/share/man."

This is not really true as I found you have to go into the Deadwood subdirectory and follow the INSTALL.txt document there to complete the installation of the recursive server. Not a big deal but it did throw me off track for a bit and it would be nice if this was called out.
