For RH or CentOS, I think the yum install is even easier if you want to use the embedded winstone. http://pkg.jenkins-ci.org/redhat/ You can configure your options in the /etc/sysconfig/jenkins file so subsequent updates won't overwrite them. JENKINS_HOME will be /var/lib/jenkins (following packaging guidelines) so mount whatever you want there before then install. -- Les Mikesell lesmikes...@gmail.com
