Perhaps a message to this effect should be displayed. I certainly had no inkling that the failure of one package would affect others, and it's not exactly intuitive behavior. Especially since (as I recall) it does a few other packages after the first ones fail, so one might think that all working packages had been correctly installed. -- Nate Eldredge [EMAIL PROTECTED]
