It’s a very possible question, actually. Here’s the situation. 1) texlive-nox-base and texlive-base _aren’t_ identical. The -nox version is built without -x11 support. 2) However, the short description field that fink uses is always the same if different variants of a package are built using the same package description, which is the case here. That’s why the same text shows up for the different packages. In addition, the dependency checker isn’t set up to remember what you selected previously, so you will be prompted multiple times. -- Alexander Hansen, Ph.D. Fink User Liaison ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Fink-beginners mailing list Fink-beginners@lists.sourceforge.net List archive: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.os.apple.fink.beginners Subscription management: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-beginners
