In section 2 (req's) I would not use the term "bomb out". I imagine you are trying to encourage people to try it, not scare them away. You could mention that recently there have been many changes to tomcat's ports, so it is wise to get the latest and greatest. Perhaps you could default to a linux JDK, since it is simpler to install. Then you could add a section "for the l33t" :) and describe how to use a native JDK there. In section 3.2: why do you install Tomcat manually? There is a perfectly good port of Tomcat (two even, if I'm not mistaken). This will make installing Tomcat and all its dependencies a rather trivial excercise. It will also install a startup/shutdown script in /usr/local/bin. Spelling nit: "Requirments" Kees Jan ===================================================== You can't have everything.
