Bora Akyol stands accused of saying: > > Well > Just for information the Linux Plug and Play version and Red Hat Release > both have Tk/Tcl based X installations. (I think the red hat can be > python based). The Redhat installation tools are _awful_ from the code perspective. (I had a look at them a while back with the intention of seeing if we could learn anything from them or their package format). Warner is on the right track though, what we need is an installation process that is independant of the user interface. Jordan went some of the way with the 'sysconfig script' stuff; we need to go a bit further yet, but it's going to be a slow road. > Bora -- ]] Mike Smith, Software Engineer msmith@atrad.adelaide.edu.au [[ ]] Genesis Software genesis@atrad.adelaide.edu.au [[ ]] High-speed data acquisition and (GSM mobile) 0411-222-496 [[ ]] realtime instrument control (ph/fax) +61-8-267-3039 [[ ]] "Who does BSD?"
