Ok, I'm lost here. What's this document Upayavira talks about? Is it for "how to install Cocoon on you hard disk"? Or is it something I should incorporate in "my" document?

Well, of course! :-) I haven't yet looked at Cocoon 2.2 other than trying to get the trunk from SVN, but from what I've seen on the list there are many things changed. I'm not going to try and use it (I do need to finish my own project first with 2.1.7), but I'll try to figure out from your script and the one added to the current document where the changes are and document that. -- Bye, Helma
