I like to run the current version of everything so I can report any bugs etc. So far I am grabbing the latest sources with sup but when I do a make world it gets out of control and goes for about 12 hours and often does not finish. I noticed an installmost option in the top level Makefile. Is this the right thing to run after getting the latest source with sup? Also should I be recompiling in single user mode? - Ernie. _______________________________________________________________________________ Australian Public Access Network Association - ernie@tinny.apana.org.au "I ping, therefore I am." _______________________________________________________________________________
