Hmm.  I selected a full install.  It must have installed the base set. =20

My first run through, I selected 'all' and it failed since there's no X* in=
 the 1.5.3_RC2 directory.  My second attempt, I unselected all X.  I've sin=
ce built bash, perl, apache, samba, etc etc on this system without problems=
, not sure if these would work without base (?).
