You mean, other than not knowing about it :-) ? I wanted something more recent than Mozilla when I was running Sarge, so I got used to rolling my own firefox early on. I had 2.0.0.3 running before the upgrade to Etch, and it never occurred to me to go looking for an official Debian package under a different name. Even if I no longer have to build my own for the Alpha, I still have to do that for some older x86 machines I'm using: the official firefox releases are for i686, and it doesn't take long for the app to die on an illegal instruction trap on those machines :-(. > > Item (2) may be a non-issue with the stable versions of gxx-4.X in Etch. > > I'll report back when I know one way or the other.

Next thing is to build an unstripped version of the package to make the debugging a bit easier. -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Bob Tracy WTO + WIPO = DMCA? http://www.anti-dmca.org [EMAIL PROTECTED] ----------------------------------------------------------------------- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
