Make your self a script to do that Rodi. Mine does everything but the
make install as the user amanda, leaving you to exit from being
amanda, become root, and do the make install.
If your config options are in a script, then each new version of
amanda is configured exactly like the older one. I could repost mine
if you'd like, but its in the list archives 10+ times now.
