Needs gs. No way.

I thought you were into tiny linux, but you seem to run every

How many times do I have to tell you that I'm not installing
svgalib or zgv?

This would make about 6X, to date.

You can suggest it a 100 times if you want. If it makes

I'm starting to think you are trying to bully me.

Go ahead and try. Down that path lies only pain and frustration
for you.

3.5M for just the basic package on SW4.0
