For woody packages I want to install on my potato system, I usually put the deb-src lines for woody in my /etc/apt/sources.list. Then (in this case, for mount), cd to wherever you do source compiling (I like /usr/local/src), and (if you use sudo like me, you can do this; if not, become root first) "sudo apt-get -b source mount". Then just run "dpkg -i" on the resulting .deb that's produced. If there are still dependencies on a newer libc version, you may have to twiddle the <sourcedir>/debian/control file. Then, from <sourcedir>, make sure you have dpkg-dev installed and run "dpkg-buildpackage -rsudo" (substitute fakeroot for sudo if you prefer it, or become root first and just run "dpkg-buildpackage"). -- Bill Jonas | "If you haven't gotten where you're going, [EMAIL PROTECTED] | you aren't there yet." --George Carlin http://www.billjonas.com/ | http://www.harrybrowne.org/
