'libxslt' is only in unstable, and it resulted in needing: The following 22 additional packages will be installed: db3 db3-shlibs docbook-dsssl-nwalsh docbook-dtd expat expat-shlibs gdbm gdbm-shlibs gmp gmp-shlibs gtk-doc libxml2 libxml2-bin libxml2-shlibs libxslt-shlibs manconf openjade python sgml-entities-iso8879 tcltk tcltk-dev tcltk-shlibs Mmmm pkgs, Lloyd ___ Don't miss the 2002 Sprint PCS Application Developer's Conference August 25-28 in Las Vegas -- http://devcon.sprintpcs.com/adp/index.cfm ___ Fink-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-devel

Q3.8: There's this package in unstable that I want to install, but the fink command just says 'no package found'. How can I install it? A: First make sure you understand what 'unstable' means. Packages in there usually have not been tested at all, many have problems or just won't compile. That is why Fink doesn't search the unstable tree by default. -lloyd ___ Don't miss the 2002 Sprint PCS Application Developer's Conference August 25-28 in Las Vegas -- http://devcon.sprintpcs.com/adp/index.cfm ___ Fink-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-devel

Ok :-7 > all you need to do is go to format/make plain text, or hit command-t > :-) Hello Chris, Thank you for the info! Interesting, I recreated the scenario. Of course, without following your excellent recommendations. TextEdit complains on save, "TextEdit does not save SimpleText format; document will be saved as rich text (RTF) instead, with a new name." Is x11.xml really SimpleText format? -lloyd ___ Don't miss the 2002 Sprint PCS Application Developer's Conference August 25-28 in Las Vegas -- http://devcon.sprintpcs.com/adp/index.cfm ___ Fink-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-devel

Is that a good analogy? Gnome does require X11. As you point out, Galeon does not need Mozilla. It needs the rendering engine, Gecko, also part of the Mozilla project. If one was to leave such a dependency, would it not make more sense for Mozilla to depend on Galeon as it is the much smaller of the two ;-) But possibly does that come to a Crypto issue?

I have only owned a Mac a couple of months -- my background is mostly Windows and AIX. Anyway, I downloaded x11.xml . Opened it in the oxymoronic, Mac TextEdit. I had a full updates and went to save, and which time it informed me that "TextEdit" cannot save in plain text. Ok :-7 So, I [select all] -> [copy] -> [paste] into bbedit lite. Then I follow with: Work -> save -> repeat. A couple hours later, I finish and diff -> everything is diff. I open the file in vi. Noted the ^M, 'dos2unix [in] > [out]. Ouch! It is one continuous like -> no punctuation! Words at line extrema have been joined! I'm screwed! I 'man dos2unix' and discover that it does in place update of the origin. Double ouch! I now know that I should have issued the command 'dos2unix < [in] > [out]' -- I am sure I have used a version (or a similar program, where my semantics were sound). I would be a LOT happier now, but based on my result that would still have not resulted in the file I desire. I know that UNIX, Mac, and Windows all use different ways to terminate lines in text files. My questions: (a) I find info the web about a 'dos2unix', '-c mac' option that does not seem to be present on Mac OS X 10.3 ?! [1] So how do I convert? (b) I seem to recall being asked if I wanted to store files in Mac or UNIX text format. Was that for a particular app or for the whole system? I took a couple hours break, and proceeded to redo my changes using 'vi'. Well, I have done what I can (feel like) for now -- there are some evident signs of laziness present in my results. I do not know how to build the webpage to view a pretty version. Hopefully, my small attachment is alrite. Best regards, Lloyd [1] maybe I should invest some time to have dos2unix protect (l)users like me :-( x11.xml.diff.bz2 Description: Binary data
