Glad it worked for you, but can I throw in the obligatory 'FBBG'
comment here ? From time to time, released versions of basic packages
bring up problems *much* later. I'm not aware of anything recently in
that class, apart from the problems with shadow's su -c, but these
things happen.

I can see the attraction, but people referring to a graphical browser
can keep two tabs open to see the downloads - keeping notes is good -
and in any case it's better to download (and keep a copy of the book)
first, so that the book doesn't change under you in mid-build ;)
Always nice to hear of people who build without problems, although it
makes me jealous :-o
