The GRP packages were certainly useful for that. I installed Gentoo on an iBook, including a full KDE desktop, in a little over an hour. But that was several years ago,when GRP CDs were available. Of course, it wasn't optimised to my needs, but changing the USE flags and an emerge -e world (while the computer was in use) fixed that. Compiling that lot on a 1GHz G4 took over a day, about 2 days when you included OOo. -- Neil Bothwick WinErr 003: Dynamic linking error - Your mistake is now in every file
