Ok, I thiink I understand; the gcc-4.0 compiler is responsible for the difference. Must have missed the warning documentation on this. I recently had to revise the Linuxant Makefile for their tar.gz driver package to get my winmodem to work with 2.6.15. > > I have performed a sid->sarge downgrade, and > consequently it is a mixed > system, however the sid installation at the time was > _before_ the gcc4 > transition, and that alone made it much easier. Am I better off if I go to either all etch or all sid even if I have to uninstall woody.
