Most error messages in Fedora are completely useless, since they don't give any idea of what action one might take. Python errors are particularly futile. I'm not sure of the idea of following the IBM system - of which I am completely ignorant - but I certainly think there should be some kind of standardisation of error messages, with a pointer wherever possible to appropriate remedial action. This is one area where Linux is actually deteriorating. -- Timothy Murphy e-mail (<80k only): tim /at/ birdsnest.maths.tcd.ie tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland
