Thanks a lot for your help. I also compile all my stuff on GCC 2.95.2 without having any troubbles at anytime. I'm just wundering what the GREAT difference between the releases could be. I mean the language for example "C" doesn't change... But the changes are as big as the kernel wont compile on GCC 2.96? thats strange to me... I mean it's not important and doesn't stress me (hehehe) in anyway just strange... cheers, Raffaele -- Sent through GMX FreeMail - http://www.gmx.net
