all right, I understand this problem.

well, this is not so easy as you know. former versions of Cocoon/Tomcat 
seemed to run under Linux/JDK 1.2 with no problems; now there is the 
Batik/awt problem. and installation under these circumstances seem to be 
again much more problematic.

well, the installation was no problem using the CVS download, Tomcat 
4.04, and build cocoon with the webapps switch so that the .war is 
generated. (and the headless switch of tomcat)

the only confusion is, that calling ...:8080/cocoon gives an error 
message, as the sitemap is re-organized, and you find nothing on this 
url, which is confusing, as you think the installation failed...

maybe this should be adressed, that there is a status page on the 
/cocoon url.
