Actually, they're update issues. Having a nagging updater is not the best of ideas, because many people will update automatically, and there's no provision in the software for explaining which are security updates that you should have and which are minor updates that you could live without. I've seen the same sort of problems with other distributions, as well as Windows. -- Bruce Byfield 604-421-7177 Burnaby, BC, Canada web: http://members.axion.net/~bbyfield blog: http://brucebyfield.wordpress.com/
