Hi,

Apologies if this appears twice, thought I'd try out netscape's
newsreader and we seem to be disagreeing on correct behavior...

I'm running 2.0-release2 right now, but when I try to build motif,
I get an error during the make Makefiles part (don't remember what
exactly at the moment) and then there is a makefile left behind
that is something like 46GB!  How they cram all that into 350MB, I
don't know...  :-)  So my questions:

1. Anyone else seen anything like this?
2. If i upgrade to 2.1, will it go away?
3. *Is* there a way to upgrade from 2.0 to 2.1 w/o re-installing?

I'm sure some or all of these are FAQ's, but I can't seem to find
a FAQ, so if answers reside there, please point me to the FAQ.

thanks,
--
