Robin, I have a list of Bro prerequisites written down for FreeBSD 7.1 and CentOS 5.3. The lists are in FreeMind .mm format, but I could convert them to HTML or add it to the Wiki if you are interested. Tyler ---

Do you have a "preview"? How long is it? 🙂 Wiki is probably best, we can then link to it from other locations. Robin ---
