Hi, I've actually done most of this, in fact. I guess what threw me off was the fact that when I entered the path for CATALINA_HOME (a writeable conf dir), there's a line of text at the bottom of the screen that says "The specified CATALINE HOME folder is not valid." A [RETURN] in the dialogue window will make this text go away, but until the [RETURN] is pressed, I think I'm doing something wrong because the text is present at the bottom of the dialogue screen. Previously, I've tried to duplicate a conf dir in /tmp, so it could be writeable, but that "folder not valid" string really threw me off. I think it's good now. Thank you. A little documentation fix to describe this would be much help to other users in the future. CT
