I just did a clean install of 0.6.1 on my Panther system from the binary installer. I tried to follow the instructions that came with the binary, but when I reached the stage where I was supposed to run dselect things started breaking. All of the packages said they depended on darwin >= 6.0 and that darwin was not available. Also, the Select menu is completely trashed, containing only garbage characters. (This is still true -- I can send a screenshot if you'd like.)
Ok, I read the FAQ and figured out the dselect visual problem. I'm disappointed
though. Since most new users will be running in Terminal.app, why isn't this info
about "export TERM=xterm-color" in the installation instructions, or better yet, why
isn't there a wrapper around dselect that tries to be smarter about this? It makes
a *terrible* first impression to dump a new user into a terminal application that's
completely unreadable.
Cheers, -Nathan
