Which Red Carpet channel do I subscribe to, in order to install the > "official" gnome2 release? Ximian doesn't have an official release at this stage. Use the one on the gnome.org site. Jacob and Luis, this might indicate a problem worth addressing on RedCarpet (which I don't use). It seems that it makes access to development binaries too easy without stressing the fact that the binaries being downloaded are experiemental and will occasionally hose your system. Don't know how easy it is to do this. Don't get me wrong, I think it's great that people can test development versions and report bugs, but I think there is quite a few people using the snapshots thinking that they are safe to use and moving towards an 'official' release from Ximian. > 2.

However this isn't the official release ;-] Rodd > _______________________________________________ > gnome-2-snapshots maillist - [email protected] > http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/gnome-2-snapshots > -- Redfish Bluefish [Creative] Phone : 03 9879 5944 Fax : 03 9879 5833 "I mean heck, it's even got a graphical configurator, so you don't have to use the command line to hose your system anymore." -- George (Gnome Developer) _______________________________________________ gnome-2-snapshots maillist - [email protected] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/gnome-2-snapshots
