-GRASS 6.2.0 RPMs
-
-I built two versions of gdal. One with the basic build (min_rpms/) 
-and another with jasper, netcdf, hdf5, cfitsio and geos added (max_rpms/).
-
-You can usually guess the missing packages from the library/dependency
-name or you can let "yum" resolve the dependencies for you:
-
-   yum localinstall package_list
-
-package_list being the GRASS and associated RPMs you downloaded from here.

-> Question: netcdf, hdf5, cfitsio - are they shipping
-> with Fedore FC6?

-Answer: Yes, all of those packages are part of the main Fedora RPM tree.
-geos is there, but is an older (usable) version.  proj is also there, but
-does not include some datum/grids.  My version of jasper also includes
-the uuid patch (GeoJP2).

+	
+	<H2>Packages</H2>
+	<p>Fedora has packages for <code>proj</code> and <code>geos</code> in their repository.  The RPM for <code>geos</code> provided here is simply more recent.  Either will work.
+	The RPM for <code>proj</code> here have been altered to provide datum/grids that are not provided by Fedora's <code>proj</code> or <code>proj-nad</code>.</p>
+	<p>
+	<code>jasper</code> is only required for <code>gdal-max</code>.  This version has the GeoJP patch.
+	</p>
+	<p>There are two version of <code>gdal</code>.  <code>gdal-min</code> has minimal functionality, but also has the fewest dependencies.  <code>gdal-max</code> supports many more data formats like <code>hdf5</code>, <code>netcdf</code>, <code>jasper</code>, <code>geos</code>, <code>cfitsio</code>.</p>
+	<p>
+	<code>gdal-grass</code> is needed for <code>gdal</code>.  It is a plugin for <code>gdal</code> to access data from GRASS GIS.</p>
+	<p>
+	<code>grass</code> GRASS GIS.  It requires <code>proj</code>, <code>geos</code>, one of the <code>gdal</code> packages, <code>fftw</code>, <code>tcl</code>, <code>tk</code>, <code>freetype</code>, <code>ncurses</code>, <code>libtiff</code>, <code>libjpeg</code>, <code>libpng</code>, <code>readline</code>, <code>mesa-libGL</code>, <code>python</code>, <code>lesstif</code>, and <code>libX11</code>.</p>

+	<h2>Installation</h2>
+	<p>Unfortunately, one of the consequences of complex software like GRASS GIS is a large number of dependencies.  The easiest and simplest way to install GRASS GIS is to download the RPMs here you wish to install and then do:<p>
+ <code>yum localinstall downloaded_packages</code><p>
+  <code>yum</code> will find and downloaded any extra RPMs that are required.</p>
+	<p>
+	Installing using <code>rpm</code> can be difficult if you do not already have the majority of dependencies already installed.  Using <code>yum</code> is the preferred installation method.</p>
