Parallel _install_ is problematic from time to time (I
I getcha. With all the tests gcc runs in Ch6, one would think for sure it's gotta be right!

Dang! That's gotta be painful. FF is a heavyweight. (Maybe you walked 15mi to school, but much more recently than that I remember building FF-2.0.0.15 on a 233MHz MMX, firing it off in the evening, going to bed, wandering back not too early in the morning to find it "nearly done". ;-) ) -- Paul Rogers [email protected] Rogers' Second Law: "Everything you do communicates."
