Well, just about the only thing I can compile is the kernel.. I want to at least be able to compile Taper 6.8.2 and all of the KDE packages. I used to be able to compile Taper, but I can't anymore -- I need to compile it because the Debian distribution never works with the input fields (ncurses problem I think) .. and KDE just rules.. I can only compile about 1/2 of the basic packages (libs, support, base, and games work; net media, and all of the apps don't). -Paul -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
