Hi,

I did a fresh install this weekend using the beta2 iso. I only had a few 
problems.

On "sorcery rebuild" I had few cases where I had to manually modify my 
system. These have all been discussed in the mailing list but I am 
wondering on the conclusions of the discussion and when the fixes will 
make it into the stable grimoire/SGML.
1. Removing ncurses.h and curses.h from gcc lib directories
2. Having to recast glibc after gettext

I will be doing another fresh install in a week or two, it would be cool 
if it went smoothly from putting in the CD to completing the "sorcery 
rebuild".

Other problems:
Ee  (electric eye) spell. It depends on gnome-libs which is not a 
dependency of gnome-2-desktop-profile. Should it be added as a 
dependency to ee?

Finally, and I'm not sure if it's just me or not and I haven't tracked 
it down. Gnome-2-desktop-profile doesn't have a install log and so 
during a integrety check it screws up and slows down the integrety 
check. My way around it is after casting gnome-2-desktop-profile I 
dispel it. I should try putting the command "touch 
/var/log/sorcery/install/gnome-2-desktop-profile" somewhere in the 
spell, this may work??

I hope I don't sound like I'm bitching about things.

Regards, Duane.
