Thats what your saying. :) I compiled X on m68k, took about 24 H on a 060, i.e. the strongest m68k system. But what do I care if it takes 24H and 5 minutes because bzip2 takes 5 minutes more to uncompress? But I realy do care if I need another zip to carry debian updates home, because they are gziped, especially if I have one lees than I would need. :) May the Source be with you. Goswin
