After hours and hours of trying different methods, the steps below are what worked for me.  Many thanks to the geeks out there who wrote up steps like these, these, and these to get it up and running — it was invaluable for me to get it working on my mine.

Okay, the first thing is you’ll first need SSH access enabled on your account (more info here).  Once that’s done, use PuTTY, login into your account, then run the following commands (worked as of May 14, 2010) on a 32-bit server:

### installation ###
mkdir src
cd src

wget http://subversion.tigris.org/downloads/subversion-1.6.11.tar.bz2
wget http://subversion.tigris.org/downloads/subversion-deps-1.6.11.tar.bz2

tar -xjvf subversion-1.6.11.tar.bz2
tar -xjvf subversion-deps-1.6.11.tar.bz2
cd subversion-1.6.11

cd apr
./configure –enable-shared –prefix=$HOME
make
make install

cd ../apr-util
./configure –enable-shared –prefix=$HOME –with-expat=builtin –with-apr=$HOME –without-berkeley-db
make
make install

cd ../neon
./configure –enable-shared –prefix=$HOME –with-libs=$HOME –with-ssl
make
make install

cd ../
./configure –prefix=$HOME –without-berkeley-db –with-apr=$HOME –with-apr-util=$HOME –with-neon=$HOME –without-apxs –without-apache
make
make install

### add PATH of SVN to your user/account ###
cd ~
echo “PATH=\$PATH:\$HOME/bin/” >> .bashrc
echo “export PATH” >> .bashrc
source .bashrc

### create folder structure ###
mkdir svn
cd ~/svn
mkdir tmpdir
cd tmpdir
mkdir trunk
mkdir branches
mkdir tags

### create repository ###
svnadmin create /home/username/svn –fs-type fsfs
svn import . file:///home/username/svn –message ‘Initial repository structure’
rm -rf tmpdir

### grab user creation script ###
cd ~
wget www.sharpstep.com/Articles/HostMonster-svn/create_svn_user.sh
chmod a+x create_svn_user.sh

#### create SVN user ###
./create_svn_user username user_public_key

# clean up source
rm -rf src

That’s it!  All you have to do now is setup TortoiseSVN and PuTTY.

On Windows 7 (and most likely Vista), installing Google Chrome only installs it for the current user. If you’d like all your users to have access to Chrome on a single install, install Google Pack from an administrator’s account.

I did it using Spirit on a Mac.  It’s definitely easier now than the iPhone OS 2.x era — that is, no more of setting the phone in “Restore mode” and running a bunch of commands.

This time it was as easy as downloading, running the app, and clicking the “Jailbreak” button, which, by the way, took less than a minute to complete.  Once done, the iPhone will reboot and it’s back to normal.

Check it out. Happy iPhone’ing!
