I didn't have to follow that many steps to get it up and running. Yet I am running under Fedora, too.
For example, 'yum' will allow wild-cards, so that where he ran many yum commandlines, I needed only one. Nor do I remember having to twiddle with permissions. Then again, I am still running SDK v. 1.6. I never felt a compelling need to jump to 2.1 when most phones are still running 1.5 or 1.6 binaries anyway. Until recently, it has been easier to find books and websites documenting how to use SDK 1.6 anyway.
