I tried to minimize on "carry-on luggage" for this task - there is no more to need to drag a tarzipped "primary" location along. Real boiled users might even go so far to wget & build GRASS from the sources before applying it in such a fashion :-) Peter -- Dr. Peter Löwe <[email protected]> Sensationsangebot verlängert: GMX FreeDSL - Telefonanschluss + DSL für nur 16,37 Euro/mtl.!* http://dsl.gmx.de/?ac=OM.AD.PD003K1308T4569a _______________________________________________ grass-user mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/grass-user
