Yes.

I'm running woody on my notebook where I've been playing with
phpgroupware+apache+mysql for the last week or so. Initially when I
connected with netscape and ran through setup and the header admin, I
kept getting numerous errors (like stat'ing files) that made me think
I got something wrong. Turns out, I was just paying too much attention
to errors - silly me. I found that I could actually ignore most of
them and just continue as if they didn't happen. Eventually I got
through the setup and header admin and was presented with the user
login.

Also, after logging in, several of the apps just presented errors. I
new from dpkg output that it failed to connect to mysql so I just
inspected the postinst scripts for the apps and ran the sql setup
commands by hand.

Now it all seems to work fine. I haven't had a chance to work out why
the install fails and submit a more detail bug report. I don't recall
seeing any errors with class.network.inc.php but there were so many I
could have missed it.

Cheers,
