installation process for apacheds-1.0-RC1

[St...@brown.edu]

Sorry to pollute the -dev list with what is obviously a -user type 
question, but your web site no longer lists a -user list.

I have some experience with apacheDS 0.9.2, and recently tried to 
move up to your apacheds-1.0-RC1 release. I'm trying to install it on 
OS X 10.4. I downloaded this file

apacheds-1.0-RC1-macosx-ppc-setup.jar

the filetype clearly indicates you've changed your packaging from 
previous releases.....

can someone provide a short cookbook, describing what I should do 
with this file?

thanks!

thanks -- that did it.

Last night, I had ssh'ed to a machine in the office, and had entered 
that command. Nothing noticeable happened -- which is not surprising, 
now that I see that the installer displays some windows on the 
machine where its actually running.....

We're using the dev list as a user list also. I think we may have a user 
list soon.

You may give it a try with:

java -jar apacheds-1.0-RC1-macosx-ppc-setup.jar

This should start graphical the installer. At the end of the process a 
service should be installed to your system. (Sorry I do not know much 
about MacOSX, so I cannot say where the service is installed and how it 
can be started).
