I am currently attempting a build in my unstable chroot on my alpha. It might take a while. My mipsel isn't hooked up at the moment so I can't try that one (and it would take more than a while on it). I don't own any hppa, ppc or s390 at this time. I only have m68k, mipsel, sparc, alpha, x86 and amd64, so far, and have access to arm. Well and a mips (not el) but it isn't supported by linux at this time. :) -- Len Sorensen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
