I just installed the gcc272 package, and they seem to co-exist just fine: timshel:~$ gcc272 -v Reading specs from /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-linux/2.7.2.3/specs gcc version 2.7.2.3 timshel:~$ gcc -v Reading specs from /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-linux/2.95.2/specs gcc version 2.95.2 20000116 (Debian GNU/Linux) However, I just recompiled the 2.2.14 kernel (had to change gcc to gcc272 in 3 places in the Makefile), but it still hangs when I boot it. It hangs after: "Decompressing Linux. OK, now boot the kernel". There seems to be a lot of disk rattling after that, but no more messages. Anybody have any idea about this? ...RickM...
