Hi,

These are nice articles. There's one big problem though: root access.
http://blog.csdn.net/vastsmile/archive/2008/05/04/2387266.aspx

You state that you need root access to build and run Wireshark. That is untrue 
and potentially dangerous. First of all leave it out of the build, so:

... execute "./autogen.sh && ./configure" in command line....

You can run Wireshark straight up, without becoming root, to read in capture 
files. If you want to capture you can modify the permissions of dumpcap, the 
capture utility, to setuid root. Then Wireshark can capture, without becoming root.

You may want to incorporate these notes into your memo.

Thanx,
Jaap
