The VERY minimal install is a good idea. It's worked for me also. None of these packages (cxref, esound-common, docbook) would be included in a minimal system. I suspect the problem has nothing to do with any of them, but if you can get a small system functional, hopefully you will be able to capture the error messages when you do reach the point of failure. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
