By "std" do you mean i386 Redhat ? Yes, it will, provided you re-compile it. Get the source RPM from my site, then type: rpm --rebuild dillo-0.6.3-1gdf.src.rpm The binary ix86 RPM will be built automatically and you will find it somewhere in the /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/ix86/ directories (replace "x" with either 3, 5 or 6, depending on your machine and distribution). If you don't find it, just look at the RPM log and search for "Wrote: /usr/src/ ... /dillo-0.6.3-1gdf.ix86.rpm" Finally install the new RPM with: rpm -ivh /usr/src/ ... /dillo-0.6.3-1gdf.ix86.rpm > What where are glibc and GTK? glibc is the GNU C library. There used to be libc5 in the past: this one is obsolete. There are now three "flavors" of glibc around: v2.0.x (very buggy, should be considered obsolete as well), v2.1.x (acceptable for x >= 3, still used in many current Linux distribution, used in Q60-Linux for now), and v2.2.x (the "current one" to be used with gcc v3.0, still undergoing some work, the current CVS one should be 2.2.5 or so). (Richard, correct me if I'm wrong ! ;-) GTK is the "Gimp ToolKit": a graphical toolkit originally built for the Gimp (GNU image manipulation program), which is now used in almost all recent programs as GUI: it is powerful and simple to use and program. GTK+ (GTK + glib, a utility library) is available for Q40/Q60 (v1.2.10). It is needed by most (i.e. all but console, Xaw, Motif, Xforms and Qt based) programs. GTK+ is part of all modern Linux distribution, the oldest among them using GTK+ v1.0.x which is now obsolete and should be upgraded to v1.2.10... > Your list looked OK until the wallpaper arrived.

IOT scan the Q60 board (yes, it was scanned, not photographed !), I had to remove all heatsinks (060 + regulator). Note that a better image of the board is available at http://qdos.free.fr/images/Q60.jpg (95 Kb), I also got the original scan (6Mb png image), in case you are interested... I put a heatsink + fan on my Q60 68060. It is a Pentium "Classic" heatsink and the fan is powered from 5V instead of 12V (this way it is almost perfectly silencious while producing much enough air flow to cool the 060 down to less than 35�C in a 25�C room). I also put a resistor in series with the power supply fan (200W power supply: quite oversized for a Q60 but you have no choice nowadays, most "standard" power supplies are 300W or more !): this way the only thing that makes noise into the Q60 case is the hard disk (although it's also a rather quite one: 5400 rpm - IBM). > You should put stickers on the Lattice chips - easy to mislocate them Mind you, I usually let them fitted into their respective socket and therefore does not need any sticker... ;-) > otherwise.

It was quite an interesting time (military speaking) but it was a very busy time for me as well... so holiday is indeed very welcome (and too short for my taste) ! Friendly yours, Thierry.
