Yes.

ImageMagick is a piece of (open source) software which does all kinds of graphic manipulations on files. It's extremely useful if you have to deal with journalists uploading 20 MB images without any real sense of what they're doing!

If you don't/can't have ImageMagick on your system, you will have to resize images "manually" before the upload (sure they've got acceptable sizes for Web images - around 10-30 KB is all right, jpg with a 75% ratio will be fine).

"wvware" is a piece of software which converts Microsoft Word documents to HTML.

Why do you need it? Well, it's not actually required to make Siteseed work. It permits you to upload Word files and have Siteseed convert them directly to HTML. Also, there is a very nice utility embedded into Siteseed called "visual editor", which looks like Word, and is much easier to use when you need to do fancy formatting... if you don't have "wvware" installed, you'll have to do the formatting using HTML tags.

(the RPM package for Red Hat Linux is called wv-...-rpm, so do a

rpm --query wv

Almost all providers (virtual servers / hosting services) allow customers only to create DBs with predefined names, probably depending on their login or sth else). Just replace "The_name_of_your_project" (config.php) in $projecto="The_name_of_your_project"; with your dbname.

That is a problem related to steps 2 and 6 of the installation procedure (take a look at the readme.txt file that comes on the Siteseed windows archive):

2- Create a new user account on your Windows system with 'admin' as the User Name and a Password of your choice.
Under Windows 2000 and XP you can create new users at the 'Computer management' Console (Start > Settings > Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Computer Management). This account will be used to access the Siteseed backoffice.

6- Siteseed uses 'Basic Authentication' feature of Internet Information Server to control the access to the Siteseed Backoffice.
So you need to set your 'bo' Directory security to 'Basic authentication'. This is done by opening the properties for the 'bo' directory on the 'Internet Information Service' console (Right mouse click over the 'bo' directory) and selecting the 'Directory security' folder. Click on the first 'Edit' button, disable 'Anonymous access' and enable 'Basic authentication'.

Note:

Siteseed will run well on PWS. But you must hack it to replace
the non-available auth services (and make sure your develepment machine is not on the internet or that your "bo" directory is protected):

On the end of "bo/staff_details.php" comment out the last two tests and add:

$REMOTE_USER="admin";
$status=3;

And your backoffice will be tricked into believing you have access previleges to do just about everything.
