"When all else fails, read the instructions???" ;-) The way I see it, you'll never know until you try, and you'll not learn nearly as much until it breaks. Anyway, I found that the glibc as shipped on the LiveCD won't compile out of box; "zic" barfs whilst building the timezones as it wants to point America/Indianapolis at "EST5" and EST5 doesn't exist; only EST. I copied EST to EST5, typed make, didn't save the config file, and happily enough jhalfs restarted the glibc build, it made it all the way through, and it's now currently compiling 069-gcc. More status as it happens. Thanks, Roger "Merch" Merchberger -- Roger "Merch" Merchberger | "Profile, don't speculate." SysAdmin, Iceberg Computers | Daniel J.
