I had no problem building the GNU tools or building RTEMS on my RedHat 5.2
system with scripts provided with the RTEMS distribution.  I just followed the
Getting Started guide.  It takes a little time to get everything in place,
especially if you haven't got a fastish PC.  It would be much easier running
from a CD, especially for the non-Unix initiated or those not familiar with GNU
stuff, but one must bite the bullet at some stage.
