Hi all,

1. I didn't mean to sound as if I were advocating one over the other, sorry
about that (though given half a chance...).

2. Ta for the install advice, should help loads.

3. The whole debacle with the O2 is dodgy from start to finish, it wasn't
bought new, but rather at auction after a software comapny went bust. Consequently, we have no backup copies of anything >:)). There's the possibility that we might buy a dist. of 6.5.5, though it's pretty
steep.
Mind you, if there genuinely is a stand alone installer, I should be able to get the box back in reasonable shape. Having said that, since
it's
a second hand box, it'd be nice to do a fresh install, whereby I know
that
everything is as it should be.

4. At the risk of offending others (for which I apologise), my personal belief
is that having /bin as a symbolic link is beyond contempt, IMHO. Ah
well,
I suppose I'll just have to fix it and like it.

Cheers,

Rory Hunter

BTW, anyone have any experience with the Enlightenment SGI install? i.e. does
it actually work? >:))
