Greetings, Yes "Install All Packages" would be incorrect due to conflicts between packages. As I indicated in my earlier post it was also not possible to select the packages listed on the initial screen, as a return there simply dumps the user into the "Select" screen. Packages such as "admin," etc. that are listed on the dselect screen prior to the individual packages being listed.
Yes, I did answer all the X86Config questions for a configuration file to be written prior to the directory problem I mentioned. Despite having exited the configuration menu perhaps it had simply not be written. Actually on the re-install I got an error message saying that the file /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/XF86Config should exist and it does not. It suggested that I file a bug report on this error. I installed Slackware from floppy disks several years ago and thought at first glance that the dselect utility might prove useful with the CD-ROM release. Rather than the second and third screens of suggestions, conflicts, etc., the utility could simply include/exclude the relevant files automatically. A more organized presentation of the packages with required files would also make it much easier to use. Patrick [EMAIL PROTECTED]
