If I was going to compile it myself I'd make Debian packages of it. I know I can do this (at one time I was doing 99% of all Debian packaging of KDE). But at this time my interest in KDE is mostly as a user, I have enough development tasks to take up my time. Thanks for the suggestion though. -- http://www.coker.com.au/selinux/ My NSA Security Enhanced Linux packages http://www.coker.com.au/bonnie++/ Bonnie++ hard drive benchmark http://www.coker.com.au/postal/ Postal SMTP/POP benchmark http://www.coker.com.au/~russell/ My home page
