Helix Gnome on Solaris 8 pretends to install but doesn't.

["Mark R. Bowyer" <Moredhel earthling net>]

The wonderful Solaris version of Gnome Installer doesn't crash so much on 
Solaris any more.  At least if you point it to a network site - it still crashes 
for local copies of the RPMs.

Then, if you're running it on Solaris 8, it downloads all the RPMs, sees that 
actually they're for Solaris 7 on stdout but says nothing in the GUI, allows you 
to say whether you want to use GDM for login, and deletes all the RPMs *without 
installing anything*.

What a complete waste of bandwidth.

Thanks,
