Yes but just because its recommended, things still work just fine. I have all kinds of packages that don't have all the cruft that they recommend. If you have a simple one-liner that will provide you with a list of the packages which are recommended by installed packages but which aren't themselves insalled, let me know. I'll run it and send you the results. Doug. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
