After the first shock i decided to see it as a challenge, got a fresh drive and decided to reinstall the whole (grown over the years ...) system - preparing for the worst :-) I am really, really astonished: all went smoothly! XFree86-4, the complete kde3 (i never managed to compile kde on stable or current before without the need to adjust something !), Staroffice52 and vmware all compiled out of the box and ran out of the box (just vmware2, i had to relink /compat/linux/dev/vmnet1 to /dev/vmnet1). The rest is not worth to mention, i did not noticed _any_ showstopper yet! This is cool! I'd like to thank everyone involved for the good work! hellmuth -- Hellmuth Michaelis Hamburg, Europe hm@kts.org www.kts.org There is a difference between an open mind and a hole in the head.
