Thanks for the help, Joe. Not only are you more than just a tad snide,
but you obviously speak from inexperience. The numbers are meaningless
in terms of installation order. I suspect they are numbered according to
bug discovery and remedy availability, but I cannot prove that.
Of course I followed the numbers. Why do you think I was so unhappy?
(I *could* have mentioned that. It would have clarified things a
bit. And I apologize for that.)
Now, Joe, *you* get the CD, do a clean install, then immediately install
all the rpms according to the numbers. Then apologize -- if you're man
enough. Did you feel good after your little insult? Do you have anymore
helpful information that you want to contribute to the list?
Lance
