Thanks for all the advice, especially Steves warning on Site Studio.

I did have a look at the install and there seemed to be a hell of alot of
installs needed that were not on the Raq before it would run, hence the
posting to this group.
As I am not as adept as Steve at nix installs etc I think I will heed the
warning about Site Studio.

I have a spare Raq4r as a development machine so I will try a few of the
suggestions and see which one fits my needs (or rather the customers) as I
am not exactly sure what he is specifically after, he used the term content
management although a simple Blog type PHP driven engine may fit the bill.

I will have a play with a few and post my findings on the list, especially
if I do get site studio working!
Maybe I should ask Gerald to do me a restore CD ... just in case ;-)

Thanks again

Paul.
