Hmm. I selected a full install. It must have installed the base set. =20
My first run through, I selected 'all' and it failed since there's no X* in=
the 1.5.3_RC2 directory. My second attempt, I unselected all X. I've sin=
ce built bash, perl, apache, samba, etc etc on this system without problems=
, not sure if these would work without base (?).
