No, but maybe it should 'suggest' it. No wait. Other arch may have other raw assemblers they need. virtual package 'kern-assembler' provided by... (list of the various) and 'required'. That'd do it. Something that -doesn't- fit the system as smoothly, that I've found a bit frustrating: if you tell it to fetch a package from source and build locally, but you don't have a full build environment, it gets to (wherever it fails in the code) instead of complaining upfront. (guess who forgot to install bison. d'oh!) I'm not even sure that's a bug but it's a pain. -* Heather * [EMAIL PROTECTED] *-
