Hi Richard; These were not web BROWSERS he was talking about but web SERVERS. You can not, in anything even remotely resembling a normal system, use two different web servers. Now in fact if you REALLY want to do this you can, in that you could configure (and probably recompile) one of the se

I would like to know if there is a way to automatically unpack all the source code for debian, give a script some CFLAGS(like -g or -m386), compile all of debian, and then optionaly install all the binaries. I have used a program called dpkg-source, but that only works for individual packages. I
