Morning all, I set up IceCast several years ago on centos 6. seemed 
easy, now I am trying to install it on Centos 7.

For the life of me, I cant do it, I have read several STEP by steps on 
how to configure, but I am pounding my head against the wall, I am a 
Windows IT guy, thus I am looking for a step by step detail way of doing 
it. All the examples I find, fail at some point or another. Any one have 
a link to an idiots procedure ?
