The case I'm thinking of is installation from source, without using a package manager, on GNU/Hurd. In that case, the user would run "make install", and if the work of things like install-info is already being done by translators, then I only hope that those commands won't give any errors. This way, no one will have to do anything special to avoid running install-info, etc., specifically on GNU/Hurd. paul _______________________________________________ gnu-system-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-system-discuss
