The only exceptions are the lines below: ./00bash.sh.done: line 12: ./01bash.bat: No such file or directory cp: cannot stat `./01bash.bat.t': No such file or directory rm: cannot remove `./01bash.bat.t': No such file or directory and ./XFree86-bin-icons.sh.done: line 8: /usr/X11R6/bin/XFree86-bin-icons.sh: No such file or directory The first set is from 00bash.sh (it should probably have a test for the existence the .bat file). Also, in-place edits should work just fine (using 'sed -i -e "/^echo/d; s,REM BASHPATH,$bashpath," 01bash.bat'). The latter message is actually because of a bug in setup -- when it uninstalls a package, it doesn't take into account the fact that files in /etc/postinstall were renamed to .done, and thus leaves stale postinstall scripts behind (like the one from XFree86-bin-icons, which is an obsolete package). [Brian, can we put this on the TODO list to fix in setup?] In any case, looks like all the postinstall scripts ran for you, so you should be good to go.
