Thanks Will.

By the way I think part of my problem with installing 1.5 was that it
is actually much simpler than it used to be.  I.e.  just about *all*
one needs to do is:-

    Unpack the code
    run 'python setup.py install'
    run 'pyblosxom-cmd create ./blog/'

Then go and configure a few things. I had been reading what is in the docs
directory and doing stuff I found in there before running pyblosxom-cmd
and I think that's where I was getting a bit lost.  I also hadn't
realised (thought through properly that is!) that no part of the
unpacked tar file is needed for the installation to work after you've
done what's above.  I was somehow thinking that stuff in either the
pyblosxom or the Pyblosxom directories had to be visible to apache for
it to work.

(I had also added to my confusion by installing on my headless server
system via an NFS mount - that's my problem!)
