 <p>The GTK+ installer has two silent states. One with message boxes: <code>/S</code>, and one without: <code>/S /NOUI</code>.  The reason for this is that the installer was made to run from within the Gaim installer where you would expect to see message boxes for errors.</p>

 <h3>Aspell and Aspell dictionary installers</h3>
-<p>I will no longer support the aspell and aspell dict installers that I had previously posted here. From now on, Gaim will use the win32 aspell distribution from <a href="http://aspell.net/win32">aspell.net/win32</a>.  To make use of Win Gaim's spell check feature you will need to download and install the aspell installer and at least one language dictionary.  If you choose not to install Aspell, Gaim will still work.  Gaim will also work with Aspell from previous Gaim installations.</p>
-<p>Note: Don't forget to turn on spell checking in preferences.</p>
