You know, I think you are right (if fact I am sure your are because the previous step reminds you of this every time), but I don't know why or what the "make depend" does. Greg Lehey doesn't have this step in his book, so when I saw the prompt I made the decision to follow the book and ignore it. I haven't noticed anything wrong yet. Can anyone tell me what will go wrong and when? Mike Janko wrote: Between step 7 and 8 should be a step 7a.
