You are indeed missing something. You'll need the binary CD's not source to install. If you're looking for an easier install I suggest Libranet (http://www.libranet.com). It is Debian based (Potato) and also has some extra stuff you might enjoy (GNOME 1.2 from Helixcode, KDE, one year support) Tal > Thanks > > > > " What happens to a man is less significant than what happens within him." > > > Matthew Tancock > IM Support, London > > :-) > > > > > -- ---------------------------------------------------------------- | Tal Danzig | Join #libranet on the | | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | openprojects IRC network | ---------------------------------------------------------------- | http://www.libranet.com | Tal Danzig | | The TOP Desktop! | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | ----------------------------------------------------------------
