Hi Ulf, Will that be a permanent solution? I mean, it will have to stay in the installer since we never know when an Ethereal user is upgrading to a version (0.99.2, 0.99.3, 1.0, 1.1 ) of Wireshark. What happens when the Ethereal stuff isn't removed but 0.99.3 is installed after 0.99.2? Will i

Done: http://wiki.wireshark.org/Development/IljasBugList I've made a pass through the list and checked in changes, but it would be nice if others could do so. I'll create the 0.99.2 trunk later today, along with 0.99.2pre1. ronnie sahlberg wrote: > can you put iljas list on a wikiso one
