What is "significantly enhanced". Is there a criteria to use, or just if it is significant to *that particular editor*? (DJ and I see it one way, you see it another way Bruce. No big deal. :-) ) However, the libjpeg thing is sort of a moot point. I *know* it is recommended for the GTK+-2 package, which is part of GNOME. This recommendation is by the GTK+ dev team. We followed. There is an explicit note on the GTK+ page about this. So for all practical purposes, libjpeg is already installed. So if someone has not installed libjpeg by the time the get around to GNOME additional packages, their installation is probably not working properly anyway. I would keep it recommended, simply because we have already recommended it in at least one place. -- Randy rmlscsi: [bogomips 1003.22] [GNU ld version 2.16.1] [gcc (GCC) 4.0.3] [GNU C Library stable release version 2.3.6] [Linux 2.6.14.3 i686] 10:02:00 up 64 days, 15:10, 4 users, load average: 0.44, 0.11, 0.03 -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-book FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
