Great to hear it worked OK; JOnAS will also be present in the Canonical
partner package archive for Natty which will give it better visibility
than just the PPA.

It sounds like the various scripts installed into /usr/share/jonas/bin
could be placed on the path and the JONAS_ROOT variable set correctly
across the system.

I guess that the added benefit to doing is that it would be possible to
create new JONAS_BASE configurations using newjb for users other than
jonas.

I would prefer to avoid making these changes; they both infer that you
are installing JOnAS on the same machine that you are going to access it
from; I would expect this not to be the case other than in development
installs.

Thanks very much for the feedback; I'm not likely to get round to any
package updates in the near future and I expect the outcome of the JOnAS
packaging session at UDS-O will have some bearing on where we go with
this next.

Cheers
