2. C:\Selenium\selenium-2.0rc2
3. I start it with:
java -jar selenium-server-2.0rc2.jar -timeout 50000 -browserSideLog

I downloaded standalone and it seems to work, there's still a long delay
before the server log starts reporting anything, but it seems to work. I
was also able to get it to work with Selenium-RC 1.0.3.

Thanks, Now I need ot figure out Flash-Selenium... :-)
