Well, I refuse to think that we have to choose between X and TeX... What I don't understand is the reason xterm, used regularly by 445 people in the pop-con goes to second CD when you move xspecs (used regularly by 0 people) to the second CD. BTW: Please note that the "x-window-system" meta-package is not the one normal people would install: This metapackage provides substantially all the components of the X Window System as developed by the XFree86 Project, as well as a set of historically popular accessory programs. The development and debugging libraries are not provided by this metapackage. This package depends on xspecs so it's certainly not for "normal users". Normal users would use "x-window-system-core" plus some x-window-manager plus some x-terminal-emulator instead. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
