Re: gEDA: Stuart's installation CD and SuSE 9.2

[sdb@xxxxxxxxxx (Stuart Brorson)]

Marvin,

Thank you very much for testing the CD installation!  I am glad to
hear that everything went smoothly with the installer.   No need to
send any log files if the install worked. 

Thanks for the suggestion about glib/gtk 1.2.  I have put your
suggestion into the INSTALL.SuSE file, and have also put the glib/gtk
1.2 source tarball onto the CD.  The tarballs will be present on the
final CD spin, which I hope to put onto the gEDA website sometime next
week.  

Anybody else have a CD installation report?  I appreciate all reports,
good or bad, because it helps me continue to perfect the CD.

Stuart
