Hi Erich, Glad to hear we have given you the confidence to dive in :-) The kernel version and GCC changes a week or two back were quite far-reaching but the build env isn't changing *too* much just now. Personally I do a complete clean re-build about once a week, just to be sure. That normally takes less than 3 hours for "build buildenv" on my "Intel(R) Core(TM)2 CPU 6600 @ 2.40GHz" build machine and another 1-2 hours for tools/buildall.sh kp is much more of a CVS expert than me. I only just discovered that you can't delete directories... davidMbrooke ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Centralized Desktop Delivery: Dell and VMware Reference Architecture Simplifying enterprise desktop deployment and management using Dell EqualLogic storage and VMware View: A highly scalable, end-to-end client virtualization framework.
