Well, if you are patient (to wait for the CD), or if you don't mind downloading Debian 2.0 Beta: Debian 2.0 Beta already comes with both gcc and egcs. ;-) I'm lazy, so I never compile egcs. ;-) When I want to use egcs instead of gcc, I just use "CC=egcc". :-) $ ls -l /usr/bin/egcc /usr/bin/gcc -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 60320 Jun 17 03:04 /usr/bin/egcc* -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 49460 Jun 15 00:48 /usr/bin/gcc* Cheers, Anthony -- Anthony Fok Tung-Ling Civil and Environmental Engineering [EMAIL PROTECTED] University of Alberta, Canada [EMAIL PROTECTED] Keep smiling! *^_^* Come visit Our Lady of Victory Camp -- http://olvc.home.ml.org/ or http://www.ualberta.ca/~foka/OLVC/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
