I think you overestimate the number of RHEL users ;-)
But of course I agree with you. If we can point the users to such an obvious
problem, then we should do that.

Feel invited to submit your comments to the document(s) mentioned here:
http://wiki.typo3.org/index.php/TYPO3_4.0.0/INSTALL

I will merge them back into the upstream files right before 4.0 is going to
be released.

Btw, it would be great if someone can somehow merge these two documents...

Best regards
