I'm almost totally ignorant of the benefits of a package manager. As a veteran Mac user I'm used to just dragging application icons to my hard disk or just click on webpage, get a .dmg image mounted automatically and run the application from there, without any installation. Seems like an almost perfect way to deliver applications. Mac/Apple seems to be heading that way even more as they've ditched the system wide Java concept in favor of bundled JVM/JRE. Can't say I disagree with that. br Kusti ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ For Developers, A Lot Can Happen In A Second.
