[Swarm-Support] I made step-by-step RedHat install/test instructions

[Paul Johnson]

On Thursday, a user asked me to write down every little step to install 
Swarm and I said I did not have time. Well, I made time today!

On Friday, I got to playing around with glibc and gtk+ and pretty much 
screwed my whole / partition, so I reformatted that and reinstalled 
RedHat 8.0.  After doing the usual system cleanup and removal of 
irritaiting packages (you know who you are!), I opened up Emacs, started 
a shell, and made a record of all the steps I had taken to install Swarm

In case you are a lucky one who handles system administration, then this 
is not important to you.  But maybe you will better appreciate your 
administrators in the future if you look and see how they suffer.

Note, I did not have to rebuild Swarm, since I did that before and 
posted the RPMS for it. But I did have to download, install, and test.
