This is true - the only reason my install works is that redhat went
through the painful part for me in building the rpms.

Having had a think about this, I think I agree. I'd *really* like to use
docbook, but as you say, it's clunky to set up.

LaTeX would be my second choice. I'd say scribe here, since I think the
syntax is cleaner (cf Pete's opinion :-) ) and I like having full scheme
available like DSSSL, but LaTeX doesn't require bigloo, is easy to
install, and lots of people know it.

So, texinfo then?
