Thank you so much for replying. I'm trying to keep it as generic install as 
possible, but some customizations just can't be avoided.

But few things i don't understand:
1. build a theme (can i just copy Reference theme into new folder?). i'm 
guessing "yes", according to wiki
2. i don't have dri2xhtml/DS-METS-1.0-DIM.xsl. all i have in dri2xhtml - 
DIM-Handler.xsl  General-Handler.xsl  MODS-Handler.xsl  QDC-Handler.xsl 
structural.xsl.
3. there would themes xls be located? all i have in themes dir - images 
lib(contains only style sheets)  sitemap.xmap

Hope this all makes at least some sense

Thanks again

Vadim
