[publican-list] Is it possible to work offline with Publican?

Morning Jeff,

I used the 2.3 installer which is the latest I could find, and selected 
to install everything. All the tools and all the brands.

> "$INSTDIR\docbook-xsl-1.75.2"

Yes, those registry settings exist, but for some reason, it wants an 
internet connection to use the footnotes.xsl file, which does exist 
locally - and in the right place.

As I mentioned to Joshua, I now have everything working fine in Fedora 
14 running in a VirtualBox vm, so I'm happy that I can do on and offline 
work.

However, I have another install of fop and docbook on that XP setup and 
that works fine without any need for the internet. Strange.


Cheers,
Norm.
