My problems are now solved, thanks to this list. Kathy, thanks for the additional tip to check bugzilla. There was nothing so useful when I was creating my Linux From Scratch (LFS) over a year ago (although there may be now). I also had problems compiling some of LFS, but was able to resolve the problems myself with the configure or makefiles (sometimes using trial and error). My LFS distro served me well until several hard disk crashes forced a new distro. I chose Gentoo, and was rather frustrated with many hours of fruitless attempts using different install methods. Thanks to this list, and the other help sources you have clued for me, my confidence is somewhat restored. Thanks, Larry -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
