So don't install the gcc package. There aren't static libs (although I think we still have some lint libraries that are quite big), and headers are generally small compared to the app itself. Besides, I feel that if you want to customise at that level, asking the package system to do the work for you is doing it wrong. -- -Peter Tribble L.I.S., University of Hertfordshire - http://www.herts.ac.uk/ http://www.petertribble.co.uk/ - http://ptribble.blogspot.com/
