I don't have it installed at all. Then again, I don't use gnome. I just checked aptitude and some pice of gnome depends on avahi-daemon. Check on your system and see what's keeping it installed. If gnome requires it, to me that would be another reason not to use gnome. Doug. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
