That's probably good enough for building. I've used VMWare for testing installs and builds under multiple distributions, though. That way I don't have to have several spare computers always set up. And it's *real* easy to "rollback" to a known virgin state. Takes quite a bit of disk space, though. > Regards, Andy - Tim _______________________________________________ gnucash-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.gnucash.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-devel
