Compile the core successfully (when we past the rpm - easy after that) 2. Compile every module successfully (easy - some modules will compile immediately, others not, but one by one and here you go :-)))) 3. Patch the .scr for every module (most hardest part) 4. We are heroes if we reach this point :-))))

My goal is just to make it work, because I know how many differences are there ;-))) Cheers Rumen --- Rumen Krasstev - Object Builder Software Bulgaria Sofia, 113 Tzarigradsko Shose, phone: +359 2 974 33 16 web: http://www.obs.bg, email: [EMAIL PROTECTED], icq: 35447386 ###I'm using only free or/and open source software### Share the freedom - "Free Software Association - Bulgaria" http://www.fsa-bg.org ---
