+
+1. For a minimal installation of the Jetspeed 2.1 Portal and Administrative portlet application, download:
+  
+   jetspeed-2.1-installer.jar
+   
+   For an installation of the complete Jetspeed 2.1 Demo Portal, download:
+
+   jetspeed-2.1-demo-installer.jar

+	
+	Supported Databases:
+	
+	    db2
+		derby 
+		mssql
+		mysql
+		oracle

+		postgres
+		sapdb
+		
+	For all databases except Derby, please have your database driver located on your file system
+	The installer will ask for the location of the driver.
+
