Subject: [AG-L] Installion guide for installing AG2.3 on RedHat Fedora
Core 3

Dear Colleagues

Myself and a 3rd BIT student (Cameron Rayner) have been developing some
documentation to help support that AccessGrid.

The current documentation that we have been working on is "Installation
Manual for AG2.3 on Fedora Core 3".

For those who would be interested to looking at this documentation, it
can be found at:

	http://hpc.cqu.edu.au/accessgrid.html

At the bottom of the page a section called "Useful Documents" can be
found, within this section is a link called "The following guide
provides a step-by-step process on setting up AG2.3 on RedHat Fedora
Core 3 (Improve Documentation)", if you click on the link "Install
Guide" it will take you to a PDF version of the document.

I would welcome any feedback on the documentation and any suggestions
for improvement.  For those who use the document to setup and configure
an AccessGrid, I would interest to hear how it all goes????

If you have any spare time, (Which I wish we all had) I would ask you to
have a quick glance at the document and see if there is any changes or
corrections you feel need to be made.

Please watch this WebSpace in the future, as I hope to release further
documentation in the near not to distant future.

Thanks,
Jason.
