Mike,
That's a bit strong. I suppose I can understand when Ximian would want to force
install everything, however I would agree it's not a good idea. Anyway, I've
been running with a clean 'Drake 7.2 and Helix Gnome 1.0 (referring to the
specific distribution product name) for a couple of weeks now without incident.
In fact, to maintain consistency I installed Helix on my new server as well,
also running LM7.2. I have almost no complaints.
However, I still can't install the LM7.2 updates from Ximian, and the Ximian
Gimp fails to install. This would seem to indicate that while the install may
force install the initial packages, the same is not true for updates rec'd using
the helix-update utility.
