The only things I ever compiled are kernels. So I have no expierence in compiling 'normal' packages. Can I treat the source of wireless-tools like the source of modules (means create a directory in /usr/src/ named wireless-tools) or can I compile them anywhere in the file tree? What does 'put it on hold' mean? Thanks Jan for helping me so far Roland Wegmann [EMAIL PROTECTED]
