 Now that Vidalia is no longer bundled with TorBrowser for Mac, the ability
 to set up a relay also disappears. But it could be easy if only you
 provided the links and info on your site !

 Under "Configuring a Tor relay" you write "another option is to intall TBB
 and then a standalone Vidalia bundle on top of it", but you don't give a
 link to the standalone bundle. It took me a long time to find, when a
 simple click on your documentation page would have done the job. You
 should also specify that after installing Vidalia, in Parameters > General
 > Start Tor, you have to browse to Tor Browser in Applications, open it,
 open the Tor folder inside and choose Tor. That again took me a while to
 work out on my own !

 If you could just add that link and info on your Documentation page, it
 would not be complicated at all for any Mac user to set up a relay. No
 need to plunge into the complicated world of Debian, VM and Homebrew !!

 Thanks.
