Well.. It compiled and installed OK now! :) What happened was... I printed off the web page with the instrucions on, as I only have one screen, and the KVM switch is a bit slow to swap from one PC to the other, or the monitor takes it's time to figure things out, whatever, it's a pain... Sadly, there was one critical line of text that fell off the bottom of one page, not making it to the top of the next (for whatever reason.) That had instructions relating to other stuff to download, not just the sys distribution, but base and something else (I'm not in front of that machine at the mo.) As I said, when you're tired and p'd off with things, simple things like that become total show stoppers, and you cant see the wood for the trees! Anyway, once all the needed stuff was got, it worked just like described. (took an hour and 15 mins to compile the kernel.) The clue, was someone asked how many visible files and folders were in the /usr/src/ directory. From my answer of "not much", they concluded I had not installed all the needed baggage, and pointed me at the line in the instructions, that I couldnt find on the printout, but could see on the webpage.. When I re-printed that page out from another PC, no text was lost. Odd. Next step, to spark up NTPD and see if that plays. But that may have to wait till next week, as I'm away for the weekend now. I already have a pre configured GPS RX ready to go however. Thanks everyone for your time and patience.
