Will, I think the actual problem isn't so much the message per se, its the fact its placed in the wrong place. It should be shown at the *end* of the build instead of during the building of kdebase. When you go to build the metaport of KDE2 no one wants to sit there watching the output for 12 hours while it builds. They want to come back and see the familiar "everything built ok" and then install it. If you place it as the message at the end of the build *alot* more people would see the message. Otherwise no one is going to catch it. Just my $.02. ============================================================================= -Chris Watson (816) 464-7780 | Sr. Unix Administrator Work: chris.watson@twa.com | Trans World Airlines, Kansas City, MO Home: scanner@jurai.net | http://www.twa.com ============================================================================= WINDOWS: All our IP belongs to us.
