No, the 'src' package for cabextract has the build script (`cygbuild.sh'), the stock source tarball and a patch, all of which would get extracted into /usr/src like any other package that uses a build script. What's wrong here is that there might be conflicts if Jari has another package in the distro with the build script named `cygbuild.sh' Elfyn -- Elfyn McBratney, EMCB | http://www.nongnu.org/wwwauth/ http://www.emcb.co.uk | http://www.emcb.co.uk/webauth/ [EMAIL PROTECTED] | wwwauth-users AT nongnu DOT org
