Not sure what you mean by 2) and 3) i don't agree with as it is common to specify the install root dir which we've been doing for ages. > > > shot, but I'll need to have access to a linux running on 64bit first > :) > > That's not a problem, see follow-up message. It wasn't a problem, more people already offered an account while you were sleeping ;-) Derick -- Derick Rethans http://derickrethans.nl | http://ez.no | http://xdebug.org -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
