Hi Quentin,

I was trying to install 0.4.1 but found it difficult to setup GNUstep. Then
I found the *ubuntu-install-etoile.sh* which looked promising. Tried that
and it asked me for setup.sh. Is there a *setup.sh* that compliments the
ubuntu-install-etoile.sh? I think maybe I am getting confused between the
two builds and need the one which will give me a user environment?

Is it possible I can fix my path so the ubuntu-install-etoile.sh will work
properly? What to do if it asks for setup.sh? I see you don't recommend I 
use this script? Is there an alternative script I can get without having to
checkout the svn?

I also recently installed Nautilussvn which might be easier for me since it
allows for visual browsing of Subversion, but this is getting extremely
complicated and trying to keep things simple.

I really like what you are doing with the Etoile project and wish you the
best of luck. Would be wonderful if I could see a working install before the
official release later this year, but if I can't  then will have to wait, I
guess. 

Regards

David. 

PS: Living in low-bandwidth Africa, so difficult to download entire images,
350mb max per month.
