Ben, I would like to run this build, but this is the only SPARC 5 and it is a firewall for a small network and I do not want a compiler on a firewall. What would be an other way I can do this?

You really shouldn't be using 2.4.18 on sparc64. It's way less stable than 2.4.21. -- Debian - http://www.debian.org/ Linux 1394 - http://www.linux1394.org/ Subversion - http://subversion.tigris.org/ Deqo - http://www.deqo.com/
