Re: gcc install problem


Doh! I've gotten so used to just flipping past the first few screens I never
noticed the radio button got flipped to "Download" instead of
"Install"...though whats odd is I don't recall ever dinking with it.

This sort of thing has cropped up before, and it has always been
attributable to human error.
