But if I select test (which means 'give me a testing package not a testing distribution') and the only test version available is a test version of vim that I want to try and everything else defaults to uninstall and I say next what do I have when I get done - nada - nothing and lets do it again because I wasn't paying attention and had no idea that setup would uninstall my entire system because I wanted to try one test version. Hummmmm - sounds pretty nasty to me. bk
