I didn't even think of setting a target.
heh no worries, I think all the "pre-packaged" distro's (including
gentoo) have really lowered the level at which people know unix/linux
make foo at now a days... its good in some ways but since we don't
struggle with getting things installed anymore (usually) its hard to
remember some of these old tricks
