Just out of curiosity, I got it working, too, on my 4.2-S platform,=20
but without cheating :-)

BTW, linux-gtk complained about some old database format. However,=20
just to eliminate suchlike issues, I recompiled  a few pieces of the=20
linux environment (IIRC, linux_base, rpm and linux_gtk). The beast is=20
now working, but I use 384MB RAM; I am not quite sure it runs very=20
fast on "normal" (64/128 MB) machines...
