My priorities changed, so I haven't had a chance to do anything about this, and I won't for a while. What's worse is that we'll be moving from VMs where I have sudo access to install software to VMs where we don't. So we won't be able to install software rpmforge anymore. I can still install from source at my home area though, :-) I still consider a good thing to have terminus-fonts (both console and X ones) available, so perhaps if someone else is interested, the attempt can be done, :-) Thanks for the effort, -- Javier. _______________________________________________ suggest mailing list [email protected] http://lists.rpmforge.net/mailman/listinfo/suggest
