That said, there's no reason that you can't override "setup.exe" and not install gs-no-X11. If you know that's what you want, then you should feel free to do so. If your gripe is that "setup.exe" will try to install gs-no-X11 each time you run it, you should feel free to manually edit /etc/setup/install.db to include the package name and an impossibly high version number to fool "setup.exe" into thinking you already have a version installed that is more current than what it has available to it. -- Larry Hall http://www.rfk.com RFK Partners, Inc.
