I'd suggest 1.1.x. I actually changed it to this in later versions of the non-GUI installer. It used to be 1.1.0 and that caused problems so I changed it to 1.1.x. Hopefully the number of people who think that 'x' denotes something besides a place-holder will be less than the number of people who think that 1.1 != 1.1.4. cgf -- Want to unsubscribe from this list?
