It should be possible to run CAM on a system of that vintage provided you perform a little porting effort. I'd have to go look at the CVS logs to determine just what you would have to bring into your system in order to run CAM. >Am I asking for major trouble if I up-rev to a recent (like last night) >-CURRENT?
