I must stop avoiding vi at once :-) I just built pico for someone, and I keep notes: --8<-------- Ftp to ftp://sunsite.doc.ic.ac.uk/Mirrors/ftp.debian.org/pub/debian/ dists/slink/non-free/source and copied the .tar.gz .diff.gz and .dsc files for pine_3.96M-2 to ~debian/slink-2.1. mkdir ~/src and cd to it. dpkg-source -x ~debian/slink-2.1/pine_3.96M-2.dsc unpacks the distribution. cd pine-3.96L debian/rules build press enter to accept advice. bin/pico is what I wanted. --8<-------- Cheers, -- Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tel: +44 1908 653 739 Fax: +44 1908 655 151 Snail: David Wright, Earth Science Dept., Milton Keynes, England, MK7 6AA Disclaimer: These addresses are only for reaching me, and do not signify official stationery.
