Hmm, the border between Fun and a lot of work is quite thin ;-) The problem is I do not have a debian-setup with gcc on it - the only machine where I use debian is our router - an old p60 with 16mb ram. If its so easy I wonder why there are no generic builds available like that one shipped with sarge? lg Clemens
