Some time ago, it also took me quite lonk to install gnucash.

I guess it would help to the following on the web page:

-1- Download Gnucash and all necessary rpms
Full download of gnucash and all necessary rpms, if you don't have Gnome
installed. Attention: it's a big download!

-2- Download Gnucash for gnome users
Just like 1, but misses all the packages already included in Gnome

-3- Download Gnucash only
You will manually have to download rpms that are required by the gnucash
installation.
Try to install gnucash, note the dependencies and download the ones you
need.
Here is a full list of links with all required dependencies:
....


I don't think this would be too much work, and it would help a lot of user
who don't want to make 5 - 10 downloads just to try gnucash.
-1- will be quite big, but it will run under any circumstances, as it will
provide everything you need. it will be for the users who have enough
bandwith ... all others can still download -3-.

It's just a proposal, i have gnucash successfully running here, but this
would have helped me before.
