I put myself squarely in the position of that user, i.e. not having an ounce of development brain, let alone an understanding of how rpms work.

Your anwser is like saying : here hapless child, I gave you a cake with a cherry and cream on it in Version 1.x.x, and now for Version 2, which I've trumpeted as a super-duper improved cherry cake, there isn't going to be any cream or even any cherry.. Which cake would I rather have ? > > - how can I choose which filters to install when I use the RPMs ? > > Simply don't install/install the xsltfilters package. > > > - where's the customized setup installation gone ? > > The customized setup has been obsoleted by different packages.

"Pretty much the same" isn't "the same" when you live in userland. If you try and install some of the modules without all of the core, you get a nice little error message telling you that this isn't possible, but, and this is a big BUT, the RPM script won't go and install that particular RPM for you (at least not in the beta). I'd still rather have my cherry and cream topped cake ;-) Alex --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
