I don't dispute that, only that I can't continue with the install unless I click on "I Accept" to the GNU GPL. --=20 Luciano Rocha Eurotux Inform=E1tica, S.A. --MGYHOYXEY6WxJCY8 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFHqyryinSul6a7oB8RApSgAJ4npQcks8hi+L33FnT0wqyX84/+mgCeNOUb n+3pR31E5r35ejEfJdlV1Ek= =m1nc -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --MGYHOYXEY6WxJCY8--
