OK, if that is the only way of doing it, it will have to be done.

A bit tedious... and full of irony...
-       Security principle: Don't install what you don't need; don't install 
tools 
that can by used by intruders etc. (like a fully featured development 
environment)
-       Security principle: Check what you have installed for vulnerabilities

But to do that I have to install a load of tools that I don't need...
... but quicker than you can say 
"compact-flash-read-only-file-system-limited-space-ram-drive-low-power-mini-itx-system-forget-about-tripwire-alarms-why-on-earth-do-I-want-gtk2-and-a-load-of-libraries-I-don't-need-forget-about-installation-audit-trails-fingerprint-databases"
 
I'll start installing a fully featured development environment.

Now you've made me sound all whiny.. and I've only just started ;-).

So I won't even mention that after uninstalling my nice working distro RPMs 
and running sh nessus-installer-2.2.5.sh it fails to compile.... prompts to 
save a log of the thousands of lines of messages.. but doesn't actually tell 
you where that log is.  But I know how to use "find", so that's alright!

thanks, 

Ian, being somewhat sarcastic but not really as grumpy as he might sound.
