OK, that was probably the case as fvwm2 is now working. However, I do think that it would be more useful is dselect/ dpkg reported "configured".
Linux# dpkg --configure fvwm2 dpkg: error processing fvwm2 (--configure): package fvwm2 is not ready for configuration cannot configure (current status `installed') Errors were encountered while processing: fvwm2 To me, that seems to be saying that fvwm2 still needs configuration but there is something wrong. Now I admit that this is no doubt due in part to my own ignorance. I suspect now that if the package was not configured that the parenthetical statement would read something like: (current status 'unpacked') -- yes? best, -bill ____________________________________________________________________ Get free e-mail and a permanent address at http://www.netaddress.com -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
