OK, I can get boostbook running on RH8.0 using:

using boostbook : /usr/share/sgml/docbook/xsl-stylesheets/
                : /usr/share/sgml/docbook/xml-dtd-4.1.2-1.0-14/
                ;

My interest was to try to learn about boostbook for my own purposes, which 
means running without bjam.  Where would I find info on this, or can I ask 
bjam to show me the commands it is running?
