Actually my point was that there should only be one last-cache on a normal system and if I do a Download only on a fresh system (no root) then last-cache will reside with setup. I then later go to the install from local directory which finds the last-cache in setups directory because there was not root at download only time. But I am now creating/created a root because I am installing from local directory - the last-cache in setups directory needs to be removed and a new one created in {root}/etc/setup or the file needs to be moved from one to the other. > > I am going out of town for the weekend this afternoon and have client > work this > > morning (don't you just hate having to do that stuff) - so it will be > the first > > of the week before I can finish. > > Could you drop your work-in-progress in?
