Using a graphical installer would be like installing       redhat or (god forbid) windows.              - the project was experimental, and development seems stalled now (latest       news are from 5-2007).              - I seem to remember some users had troubles with it, while the manual       method has always worked fine.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
