Got it to reproduce. Hmm .. I don't know what I'm going to do about this one ... it's obviously ugly. The way that I see it, I think that not having color support in your case (try setting another color other than default?) is less serious than not even being able view the program in a terminal program in X at all. Note that it might (not sure) be able to be solved by changing the color scheme aka patching /etc/Muttrc for the ncurses problem, but I really don't want to do this because I've seen this problem in at least one other ncurses based program [1] so I don't want to throw in just one random fix for the mutt program .. - G.

I've renamed the various minimal installs to:
_("Truly minimal install (especially no urpmi)"),
_("Base system (no X, including urpmi)"),
_("With X"),
difference between the first 2 one are packages:
--
sndconfig awesfx sox playmidi
-> i lowered sndconfig, so these won't get installed anymore
urpmi curl eject perl-DateManip perl-gettext rpmtools libcurl2 libopenssl0
-> needed for urpmi
ftp-client-krb5 krb5-libs
bc readline
MAKEDEV anacron at cpio gpm hexedit ldetect mailx man-pages strace sudo
--
tell me which one you find unneeded.

So most of the time you say : use "vi filetoedit" or check if this one is installed if not check this one, if not try "urpmi thisone" but if there's a pb with his source ( CDROM pb, or other source of urpmi misconfiguration ), no way to get the text editor simply. So go take it by hand and hope no dependencies pbs. etc ... Painfull for him and for me who want to solve his pb. If for example I knew that pico/nano is always installed as for vi, I will just say "nano textconfigfiletoedit" and it will be able to edit the file. If the text editor is simple he will not call me to ask how to save the file or copy/paste or edit ( vi case because of ESC+i ). > > 3╟/ when there is a pb and have to edit some files by hand without > > having X > > mcedit or pico. > > > 4╟/ if there was a very easy console text editor installed by default, > > when I will tell someone to modify a file, I will just tell it : > > "my_simple_editor file_to_modify".

But now there is a duplicate library libfreetype is both in /usr/lib (from freetype2-2.0.6-1mdk) and in /usr/X11R6/lib (from XFree-libs). I think XFree should be rebuilt to use the standard freetype ?. -- J.A.

The libfreetype library was bumped down back to 6 for the XFree86 final. Assuming fredl's not changed the library in any way you can use a soft link until things are rebuilt with libfreetype.so.6 again. -- Geoff.

[Cooker] libfreetype.so.7 (again...)
Hi, Where is "libfreetype.so.7" ? With the latest X it seems to have disappeared, and latest kdebase (26mdk) seems to require it... -- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- | Oden Eriksson, Deserve-IT Networks/HFE Systems, Jokkmokk, Sweden. | Mandrake Linux release 8.2 (Cooker) for i586 | Current uptime with kernel 2.4.17-7mdksmp: 13 hours 27 minutes | cpu0 @ 799.53 bm, fan 4500 rpm, temp +29°C | cpu1 @ 801.17 bm, fan 4560 rpm, temp +29.5°C
