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.
