You will have to have a running copy of Debian sarge to be able to compile the sources; the debianised tarballs will require specific dependencies to build them. So, if you /really/ want to do this, install from the binary CDs, and then compile the sources. Some hints to get you started: apt-get install build-essential apt-get build-dep libc6 apt-get -b source libc6 Cheers, Paul -- Paul Dwerryhouse | PGP Key ID: 0x6B91B584 ======================================================================== Linoleum - Linux Programming Resources: http://linoleum.leapster.org/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
