Uh... not necessarily. When I installed mgetty, dselect wanted to include ghostscript because mgetty "suggests" it or something. Ghostscript, of course, wanted to bring along about 5 friends as well: libraries, fonts, etc. etc. Since my reason for getting mgetty wasn't for faxing, I had little use for ghostscript, so I deselected it and it's libraries, used 'Q' to force dselect to accept it, and then I installed just mgetty. Works like a charm.... - Joe -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] . Trouble? e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
