I just spent several hours installing pure64 gcc-3.4 onto a dual Opteron workstation (Tyan S2882, 6GB of RAM[1] :). This is for use by a not-very-hackerly user, but he'll be able to ask me for help if anything breaks. I left a partition for a sarge i386 dual boot, which I haven't set up yet. A few gcc-3.4 bumps along the way: I used the daily-built sid-amd64-monolithic.iso from Alioth. Besides not doing a very good job of letting me partition and set up RAID1 + LVM, it still doesn't tell debootstrap all the packages it needs. What finally worked was debootstrap --include=libstdc++6,gcc-3.4-base,libgnutls11 sarge /target http://debian-amd64.alioth.debian.org/gcc-3.4/ exim-daemon-light depends on libgnutls11 in the gcc-3.4 archive, but debootstrap is still pulling in libgnutls10. Fortunately, I didn't have any trouble with GRUB. Now it's installed, and I've come across some more interesting things: ia32-libs and libc6-i386 both contain /lib/ld-linux.so.2. What's the difference between ia32-libs-dev and libc6-i386-dev, and which one should I use? Hmm, libc6-i386 Replaces: ia32-libs, but it doesn't Conflicts:. Not good. [1]Anyone know what the BIOS setting IOMMU Absolute vs. Best Fit modes are? And which MTRR setting does Linux like better: Discrete or Continuous (continuous mean it has an uncachable region for the PCI hole, instead of just leaving it out of the MTRR altogether). -- #define X(x,y) x##y Peter Cordes ; e-mail: X([EMAIL PROTECTED] , des.ca) "The gods confound the man who first found out how to distinguish the hours!
