[Dxspider-support] Wiki

I've been following the wiki and about to the point of total
frustration. Thus morning I checked out the Centos instructions. I
noticed right off that there are several differences in the install
instructions. For example,

After you unpack the tarball ::

# cd ~sysop
# tar xvfz spider-1.50.tar.gz
# ln -s ~sysop/spider /spider
# groupadd -g 251 spider (or another number)

But on the Centos page this is done *before* you work with the tarball.

Another example,

# chown -R sysop.spider spider
# find . -type d -exec chmod 2775 {} \;
# find . -type f -exec chmod 775 {} \;

But the Centos page has this 

$ chown -R sysop.spider spider
$ find . -type d -exec chmod 2775 {} \;
$ find . -type f -exec chmod 775 {} \;

So which is which and who is what ?

Thanks
