Matthew, could you perhaps give a quick example of using the apt-get source dealy? Why would one use it over apt-get install? Yeah, to get the source, but where does the source get stored, and once you have hacked on the source a bit, is there a nice debian way of compiling? :) Thanks :) -- Seth Arnold | http://www.willamette.edu/~sarnold/ Hate spam?
