You have to build all of any given Debian source package at once (unless you understand the package well enough to run bits of its build system by hand; I expect that to be difficult for xfree86. There's nothing to say you have to install all of the resulting binary packages, though. -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
