Using distro-provided packages is not about using your system as a 'toy', it's about avoiding the integration and testing hassles associated with building stuff from source. But at times there are good reasons for not using packages - building a very fresh mythtv from svn is possibly one of them. > Try ubuntu > Can I build mythtv > Can I build lbe (from ltsp) Definitely, but like any new tool, you need to learn a few basics to be able to do the harder stuff. It sounds like you had trouble finding out about the apt-* toolchain, and which packages will help you to build a particular piece of software. That is stuff we can help with - your best bet is to ask specific questions (with info/errors from the computer) > Can I mount a mtdblock on a partition as jffs2 Sure. - Jeff -- GUADEC 2006: Vilanova i la Geltrú, Spain http://2006.guadec.org/ I don't know whose brain child it was, but it was quite an ugly child. -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
