How about I send you my 'unpack the slackware dev stuff' script and some notes on the process? I'm not trying to cop out here, but it would let you consolidate the two. I'd also be inclined to put a /bin/bash in the linux_lib package, so that a user could invoke a Linux shell and thus get Linux binaries by preference over FreeBSD ones. (This avoids changing your path and then when you come back to the xterm a day or two later wondering why nothing works! 8) > erich@lodgenet.com -- ]] Mike Smith, Software Engineer msmith@gsoft.com.au.au [[ ]] Genesis Software genesis@gsoft.com.au [[ ]] High-speed data acquisition and (GSM mobile) 0411-222-496 [[ ]] realtime instrument control.
