I know of two minor (non-show-stopper) nits: 1) IF (and only if) folks have used the setup-snapshots AND they happened to use a particular version (dunno which one, sorry), then the foo.lst.gz files in /etc/setup that were created by this particular bad setup.exe, contain 0x00 bytes at the end of each line. This has been fixed in setup itself -- but the bad .lst.gz files remain. This *may* cause trouble in the future (when the .lst file is re-read for uninstall) but a) it only affects a few people b) it may not even be a problem (don't borrow trouble) c) it's easily fixed by hand 2) It seems that when uninstalling (or upgrading), if the uninstalled package leaves behing a directory that is empty, the directory is not removed. Not a big deal, and certainly not a showstopper. --Chuck
