Could you tell me what didn't work for you, so that I can make the

I understand that.
The advantage is that the whole "package" consists of a small shell script (or
symlink) in eg. /usr/local/bin/, and a single directory of about 16-20MB -
and that can be refreshed from a newer installation with a call to a shell
script.
But now that you've repackaged them - could you put them on rpmforge or
something like that, so that other can use them, too?
Well, at least you got it working.

Phil
