I had to search the mailing list archives to find a list of steps to follow in order to install it. That's great! But then apache reports that I must have DES first. Not a problem. But I've just spend two hours trying to find instructions on how to install DES. I've found nothing. It's so frustrating! I can't be the only one that finds this difficult to the extreme of frustration. I can follow instructions. If only the instructions are there to be found. arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgh! I'm off for a bike ride.
