I tried to recompile on freebsd...the configuration is not my favorite and it wants the gnu "helpers" (i.e. gtbl, geqn).

Slackware comes with a MANIFEST file which lists the packages and whats in them... In freebsd, I just have bin.* In src, I have all types of collections...(share,sys,subin,sgnu,sgames,setc) Wouldn't a list of what is where be useful (I suppose I could make it...but still it should be provided...) -- marty leisner@sdsp.mc.xerox.com Member of the League for Programming Freedom
