Can you point out specific questions? I've scanned through and can't
get enough context to address these issues.

The rosemacs page already documents how to get the new version.  I
added a note to the fuerte page to more specifically call out that it
is a separate tool.  I also added explicit installation sections to
rosdep and rosinstall wiki pages (previously you had to jump through
to the sphinx docs).

http://ros.org/wiki/fuerte/Installation/Ubuntu/Source#fuerte.2BAC8-Installation.2BAC8-rosinstall.rosinstall

"sudo easy_install -U rosinstall vcstools rospkg rosdep"

I'm not sure I understand the comment well enough to document anything
different (or where to add more breadcrumbs for people to find the
documentation they are looking for).  The above is basically the union
of the rosinstall and rosdep installation instructions (NOTE: rospkg
is installed if you have Fuerte binaries).
