 I'm trying to do something a bit non standard.  I'm trying to move my work
dev environment from a windows box to a RHEL-5 linux box where I have no
root perms. Then I'm going to connect to it via VNC. I got the VNC server
setup with metacity but I have no desktop environment. So it would be
really great if I can get GNOME installed and JHBuild would be an awesome
way to get packages installed without root access.

For the GNOME install : JHBuild supports prefixes but apparently your docs
say I need to register something in /etc/xml/catalog is there a way to
avoid this? What else do I need to install as a non-root user?

I would really appreciate help in this. Thanks!
