Without the original patch that they used, is it even possible for me to remove what they did?? Perhaps the short term solution for me would be to try and fix the symbol handling in the butchered version.. Maybe the right solution is to switch to Red Hat.. > The kdb patch in MDK 10 is unrecoverable, it is just too old.

Mandrake does not install the sources by default.. The source RPM's are on the 10.0 distribution media (I forget which disc), but you have to run the RPM manager and install them manually... An apology in advance for the list.. The Exchange server at our site for unknown reasons has heart burn sending mail to the list.. (I am using personal webmail to send this) I just got a notice from the postmaster this morning that the attempts I made two days ago to send my original mail are still pending (status: delayed). So if you see my original posting again, I haven't lost my mind, it's just our Exchange server clearing it's throat.. :-) -Charlie --------------------------- Use http://oss.sgi.com/ecartis to modify your settings or to unsubscribe.
