And now that it\'s installed (along with a couple of weird libraries it suddenly depends on, libmng and liblcms), it just dies after radiooff and radioon, just like \"The Doctor\".

Hmz, good to know...anyway weird, I have tested dialog check on my machine<br />and it seemed to work. Anyway I will take a look on it today.<br />--exit-label is not listed in the manual, anyway my version: 0.9b-20031207<br />seems to underestand it well. I changed exit button label because some<br />people were bothered with that Exit button and yesno window not supports<br />scrolling throught the file...<br /><br /><br />Regards.

I have version 0.62 - maybe it\'s time to upgrade, if I could just figure out their version numbering.<br /><br />But the terminal size one is stupid IMHO, the installer shouldn\'t expect anything bigger than the standard 80x24.

Hmz. Running dialog without arguments obviously gives exit code 0 here but<br />on a second machine it indeed gives 255...<br /><br /><br />Regards.
