Peter von Kaehne replied: OK then. I can't create new pages on the Crosswire wiki (need to wait four days so it knows me... odd, since I have a shell account on the machine ... looks like crosswire doesn't do any kind of single sign on authentication, but keeps shell/forums/wiki user data 100% separate). Meanwhile, I've created and tested little scripts for Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora, Mandriva and RHCE/CentOS and documented the basic approach in the sandbox at http://crosswire.org/wiki/CrossWire:Sandbox The RHEL/CentOS one is incomplete because they don't seem to have a clucene-devel type of package in their official repositories, and I'm not up for documenting how to add extra repos just for that, at least not right now! Bottom line: a 5 line script downloads/compiles/installs SWORD from svn, and a second eight line script downloads and installs the KJV and tests that it "works". Comments welcomed, as are scripts for additional Linux distributions!
