A lot has changed since the beta release. I've successfully built and used m84 and m92 Ximian builds (without Java and as a result no DB equivelent to Access) and haven't messed with it since. I meant to get back to it today, but I had my boys all day while the woman was out. Give me a couple of days and I'll try to put together a current patchset against raw m104 for us as I was going to start on it this weekend anyway. BTW, you might want to give the Ximian build a shot. IIRC, what little changes I had to do to it were minor, but it's an awful lot of changes in that version. -- DJ Lucas -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
