A couple low-priority bits of documentation correction: 1) The file "INSTALL.mysql.txt" might mention that you need the php-mysql package, since there is nothing that suggests this and it's necessary if you're going to use MySQL as the DB backend. 2) The file "drupal-README.fedora" suggests to set the perms on the settings.php file to 644. I believe this should say 666, for writability during the setup process.
Comitted changes to CVS. Made all changes in drupal-README.fedora. Currently trying to get 254228 worked out, will do one rebuild for both.
In new build.
