That doesn't matter. Anyone has to learn.

The Lazarus- package is only a wrapper around the real components. So an update of lazarus is only needed if a new component is added.

This is how it's called on Fedora, I'm not sure how to handle this on Knoppix. -- Met vriendelijke groeten, Joost van der Sluis CNOC Informatiesystemen en Netwerken http://www.cnoc.nl _________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe: mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe" as the Subject archives at http://www.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailarchives
