Ok, thanks for clarifying that. I wasn't aware of that issue. It also explains some of the errors I've had with partial upgrades from 6.9 to 7.0. > Current Ubuntu makes /usr/bin/X11 a symlink to .

I'd forgotten about that part and had misread the script before sending the mail. /usr/bin/X11 is still a symlink to . (or rather ../bin), so anything installing to /usr/bin/X11 will actually install to /usr/bin. - David Nusinow -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
