Question Known dangers of installing Xdialog


Last time I fooled with the X-server I wrecked it.

I am attempting to install the ClamAV package, including FETCAV,
FETCAV reports that the installation failed - because Xdialog isn't installed

Is it likely that installing Xdialog will lead to the X-server crashing (which ultimately led to a complete re-install of FC5) ?

I'd rather ask now than install and *then* ask how to fix what may prove to be an error

xdialog isn't part of the xserver. it's a utility that lets you use gtk dialog boxes from shellscripts. I doubt it will crash anything.
