If you need your machine "useable" by tomorrow, but don't want to wait for KDE, Evolution, Mozilla, etc. to compile, why not first install some lightweight apps, then go ahead and start using your system while the big boys compile in the background? If you were to use fluxbox|openbox|enlightenment as your temporary window manager, mutt|sylpheed as your temporary email app, and phoenix-bin as your temporary web browser, I imagine you could be up tomorrow no problem. Mozilla, KDE, etc. could compile after that. Just an idea... Doug Gorley | [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
