I would think it would be more sane to build an RPM instead of
writing installation instructions.  I never dealt with building
RPMs but I doubt that it is hard for somebody who is able to
write a fine installation instruction.  In principle it should
be just coding the instructions.  Perhaps it might be helpful
to have a look at the (not yet finished :-() Debian packaging
stuff.

Regarding to my efforts for the Debian-Packages I have the following
todo-list:
 1. Finishing Debian-Med paper
     http://people.debian.org/~tille/debian-med/talks/paper/debian-med.html
    and translating it into German
 2. a) Building GnuMed packages from fresh CVS checkout
    b) Caring for Knoppix mastering system
 3. Mastering a Knoppix-Med including GnuMed

Priority of 2a and 2b will be adjusted due to the actual needs.

Kind regards

      Andreas.
