No... didn't know I needed to. Seriously, the FAQ or something should just cover something like this.

My client is bang up to date, I assume it means I need to install Minecraft Forge client.

Thats a real pity, I'm not using the Spout server side things, just the client, which I find very easy and lightweight compared to Minecraft vanilla, it allows me to run Minecraft client on machines that just won't run Minecraft otherwise. I just uploaded Tekkit to my server, and when I tried to login it said

Thanks for the replies. I host my server on Beastnode, in order to run a different server package to the ones they supply I will need to rename the .jar file, will Tekkit be happy with this? I should also ask, does Tekkit work with the SpoutCraft client, or do I need a special Technics client?

I run my own small private SMP server. I'd like to install Tekkit... I checked the FAQ and it says: Well assuming Bukkit is a synonym for CraftBukkit then great, my server runs CraftBukkit. Then I read this and it says (amongst many other things): So these two things combined seem to be saying "Tekkit is for CraftBukkit, but no longer contains the plugins needed to run on Craftbukkit". Surely not? Also where are the installation instructions? I was expecting to find a link to them on the Tekkit page but no luck, nothing in the FAQ, no wiki and no forum section devoted to installation... so... So where are the instructions? Finally I want to find out if a pre-existing vanilla world (I have some plugins, but nothing that adds anything into the game) can be upgraded to a Tekkit world... I've searched the forum... I can find nothing... Please can someone help me? PS sorry for the broken URL;s, the forum editor seems to be very broken, or at least very none intuitive. This is my 3rd attempt to fix.
