Any suggestions are welcome, I strongly suggest that you try upgrading to something more recent (B3 or C0). A1 is old and buggy and I would prefer not to have to support it. Linux has recently de-supported anything older than B3. Compiler wise, gcc 3.0.1 sounds promising apart from the fact that it doesn't compile KDE2, which makes it unlikely to be imported any time soon. -- Doug Rabson Mail: dfr@nlsystems.com Phone: +44 20 8348 6160 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ia64" in the body of the message
