Hello Euis,

On Breezy it all works well, you just need to know how to setup manually since 
there will be no ubuntu deb for a time yet.

You should add the 1.70.0 folder to 
/usr/share/xml/docbook/stylesheet/nwalsh/

You should find the prev ver in 
/usr/share/xml/docbook/stylesheet/nwalsh/fo/docbook.xsl

I added a current folder as link so I can switch between versions
/usr/share/xml/docbook/stylesheet/nwalsh/current/fo/docbook.xsl

I think just point my catalogs or any direct imports in files directly at the 
new instance of docbook.

This will break your package management system. If you don't want to go that 
way, just install in your ~ and point there.

Regarding FOP. 0.9x works fine. I am using SunJava 1.5. Again FOP was manually 
installed.

Hope this helps,
