Dear Nate,

I just run the first step and must use sudo to "wget" and it is ok. Otherwsie, I can't write (Cannot write to `virtualenv.py.1' (Success).)

kangtu@dscbc-compute:~/Downloads/galaxy-dist$ sudo wget http://bitbucket.org/ianb/virtualenv/raw/tip/virtualenv.py

-------------------------------------------

When I checked the root folder of "galaxy-dist", and found:

-rw-r--r--  1 kangtu admin 75592 2011-01-27 02:38 virtualenv.py
-rw-r--r--  1 root   root  75592 2011-02-11 09:40 virtualenv.py.1
-rw-r--r--  1 kangtu admin 69811 2011-01-27 02:38 virtualenv.pyc

Should I chang something for step b "python virtualenv.py --no-site-packages galaxy_env"?
for example, "python virtualenv.py.1 --no-site-packages galaxy_env", or rename "python virtualenv.py.1" as "python virtualenv.py".

Best Wishes,

Yan
