I noticed it also installed (upgraded, really) gcc-2.95 later on, so
obviously it isn't replacing it with 3.0. Good, I was a bit worried.
It's a bit weird for me as your humble end user to see that a (too)
new version of gcc apparently is upgraded to - normally, when a
package is available in different versions simultaneously, it's
explicitly named - e.g. gcc3 or something.

Okay, the text scrolled away long ago - anyway, I think the message
could reflect this fact more clearly. I certainly missed it (but may
be guilty of not reading it closely enough)

gcc 3.0 will be the default?
Anyway, thanks for your help, and apologies for any unnecessary
trouble!
