FOP doesn't implement the whole XSL spec, yet. DocBook however makes extensive use of several features not available in FOP and that's why you get the messages. > [INFO] [1] > [INFO] [2] > [INFO] [3] > ...

English is among those removed. For the moment you can use "en_GB" instead of "en" or turn hypenation off. > any suggestions? in addition, when i tried to render the entire > 15 (or so) page document, a number of docbook elements (lists for > instance) were rendered really badly or not at all. I'll leave that open to be answered by people having experience with DocBook. I know there are some problems but I don't remember the details. Maybe you should have a look at the mailing list archives. There should be lots of information on DocBook with FOP. > i'm open to suggestions, as i work my way thru the docs and > archives.

We can't provide separate installation instructions for each and every operating system. The page below also applies to Red Hat: http://xml.apache.org/fop/running.html But as far as I can see you've already managed running FOP, right?
