I think it is already here, at the top of the wiki page: in Introduction
& Installing VTK 5.0.

Not for sarge.
I know, etch will be released soon ;-) but still not in the stable
branch, before a few months.

We have already discussed this, Prabhu ;-))
In brief, the reason was: all the MV2 stuff in the same directory
(knowing that none, or almost, exist for sarge).
And the stuff for MV2 is python 2.4, VTK 5.x, wxpython-2.6.x, etc.

However, I quite agree that it can sound daunting.
(because _it was_ daunting when I began to install MV2: not for MV2 himself
but for the other stuff). This is the reason why I wrote this wiki ;-)

But if you like, I can shorten the wiki, no problem.
