I went down the route of doing ICC builds a few years ago ( 2009 ) - and had the entire CentOS-5 LAMP stack done, but was unable to get the nod from Intel that what was being attempted was within their legal and aup terms. Its a massive grey area, unless you have the license to distribute the builds ( which is what mysql had ) - and its not cheap. Months of chasing intel's legal team resulted in nothing. So I gave up. Let us know how you get on. -- Karanbir Singh +44-207-0999389 | http://www.karan.org/ | twitter.com/kbsingh ICQ: 2522219 | Yahoo IM: z00dax | Gtalk: z00dax GnuPG Key : http://www.karan.org/publickey.asc
