Yeah, and if I can get to it, I'll also be touching that to prevent that 
step from crashing on Debian etch, as it did during my initial 
attempts.  Among other things, we apparently need to force install of 
Yaz, at least until indexdata fixes or forgoes a dependence on their 
remote test server (and your open firewall allowing access to it).  More 
notably, the package libuuid-perl isn't available in etch (or in my 
backports apt source).  I had to cpan B/BR/BRAAM/UUID-0.02.tar.gz 
explicitly.  Lacking that also crashed apache, due to the startup script.

Also need to add "a2enmod xmlent", but at a later point after that 
EG-specific piece is compiled and available, before the apache restart.

In general, I think we need at least one end-to-end install document.  
It doesn't matter for what platform.  Any distro-specific docs can 
replicate it, or be more of a "diff", saying effectively "Do steps 1-6 
from the main doc.  For step 7, do xxxx."  We also need a chart of what 
OpenSRF versions are compatible with what versions of EG. 

And the start/stop controls for router and others could be more 
bulletproofy.  I'll stop now....

Thanks, I'm happy to be here!
