Debian 2.1r2 (slink) (info taken from /var/lib/dpkg/available) Package: ppp Version: 2.3.5-2 Depends: libc6, netbase Suggests: ppp-pam Package: depends on: xisp ppp (>=2.2.0f) wvdial ppp (>=2.3.0) pppconfig ppp (>=2.3) pptp-linux ppp ppp-pam ppp (=2.3.5-2) pppupd ppp masqdialer ppp (>=2.3) diald ppp (>> 2.2) These are for Debian 2.1. So, if you recompile ppp 2.3.5-2 on slink, it won't break any dependencies, I guess - I haven't recompiled it. I have no idea what ppp version and what packages that depends on it are in Debian 2.2 (potato) - you have to ask potato users :) -------------------- Pawel "Melyan" Mazur <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ICQ #8096952
