I didn't think he was asking that e17 be added to Ubuntu's repos, just that Ubuntu have the dependencies so that their repo could be added as a third party repo. That doesn't sound like too bad of a deal, since the user would still have to go out of their way to find the rest of e17. And it didn't seem too unstable when I compiled it on Debian Etch 2 years ago. -- Mackenzie Morgan http://ubuntulinuxtipstricks.blogspot.com apt-get moo
