More than being a part of, x-window-system is the *only* package in the basic-desktop task. I think there is something fundamentally wrong in this task if it's called "basic" and, at the same time, it includes xspecs. There is also a `desktop' task containing x-window-system-core, which is the "good" one. I think the basic-desktop task should not exist, or it should not contain x-window-system, or we should not force it to be in the first CD. I would like to hear some comments about this from whoever created this weird "basic-desktop" task. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
