This brings up a couple of issues. 1) Will Mandrake now have to keep 2.9x gcc in 9.0 for a couple of select packages (like Mozilla, Galeon) 2) Will we be seeing a rebuilt Mozilla? I'm glad that Java will once again work, but disappointed that this is necessary because of Sun dragging their feet. It shouldn't take months for a rebuild, especially when they've said they already have made the code 3.[12] clean for 1.4.1. :( -- Brad Felmey
