Hi Joe,
It took a while, but I've completed the build. Thanks again for your
assistance and your patience.
During the installation, the following prompt appeared:
GDM may contain vulnerabilities leading local root compromise, and it is
reported widely with various security sites and groups . It is
not recommended that this port be installed in public environment. Do
you wish to accept security risk and build GDM anyway?
(May have misspelled a word or two..sorry.)
There were "YES" and "NO" responses and "YES" was highlighted. I have a
standalone machine and access the internet through an ISP so I accepted
"YES". Can you help me understand the consequences of my decision? What is
a "public environment" and what were my alternatives?
Bob
