For some reason I had categories pictured in a whole different light. At some time long ago categories were mentioned in terms of such items as shell's, emulators, editors.... And while this does not lend itself well to all packages that was the light that I was thinking of categories in. I also agree with the above but see the above as more of a broader category (let's call it installation method - ie are you installing just the core, a workstation, a server, development system) - this is something I see as selectable from a installation method dialog whereas categories are let's go select a shell, let's go select an editor and so on. Then later on as we implement dependencies then you have - sorry you cannot install that emulator without this shell or whatever. Just my $.02 cents worth. On a side note as well I tried to try the dependecies logic using an update from cvs and Roberts sample setup.ini - I don't see anything different - where is the categories. bk
