While I found it relatively painless I have three comments, the first two are technical: It assumes the user is set up to sudo things like yum, this isn't the default on Fedora, so su - -c"" might be more appropriate. It uses ~/rpmbuild, which is certainly good practice, but doesn't mention that you need a file (~/.rpmmacros I think) set up for this to work. Finally, for simplicity it might be worth having a script which does this all for you. Anyway, installing Sun's java has certainly sped Azureus up (not to mention I now have a Java plugin for Firefox). Hopefully the gcj guys will catch up soon. -- imalone
