The conflict must be fairly benign then because I've managed to switch back and forth between the two with no ill effects. I'm running my previous fvwm setup after installing and running fvwm2 for awhile and it was a no-brainer. This is not to say that things aren't being incorrectly overwritten, simply that it doesn't seem to have caused any overt ill effects. > Is there a "preferred" way of saying to not install the two versions > at once on the same machine? (like the different versions of tcl/tk > which overwrite include files like /usr/local/include/tk.h etc) That's another example, and actually the pathologies there are very real - you install one version of TCL and another version of Tk and some applications will fall over when they start using the wrong headers. I think we probably need some sort of conflict checking for this, but lord only knows how it would work. I'm open to ideas (being too sleepy at the moment to really think about it myself - perhaps I will ruminate on it later on today given that I have 3 hour drive ahead of me). Jordan
