I think the main ones are procps and modutils... You'll have to poke around to see what versions are needed, but as long as you're on unstable, they're _prolly_ already packaged. Oh, and the new mini-devfsd if you're running devfs... You _may_ be able to used the old one still, I dunno if the new mini-devfs is in the Linus kernel yet. > I want to check the rivafb support in the developing kernel > and maybe try to backport it to 2.4.xx. Heh, good luck... I _believe_ they've recently moved over to the new framebuffer/console architecture, so it'll be a pretty large backport, I suspect. -- ----------------------------------------------------------- Paul "TBBle" Hampson, MCSE 6th year CompSci/Asian Studies student, ANU The Boss, Bubblesworth Pty Ltd (ABN: 51 095 284 361) [EMAIL PROTECTED] Of course Pacman didn't influence us as kids.
