That's what I've been doing. It appears to make those targets in order specified and aborts once one fails. As for the config step, it could be worse, it could be Linux. :-) Actually its been so long since I built a Linux kernel that I forgot how it was done. Hasn't been long enough for me to forget that one *had* to build a custom Linux kernel in order to get a functional mix of the right device drivers for your system. Hopefully (for Linux) that has changed by now. -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@nospam.hiwaay.net ===================================================================== The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.
