I mean compiling from source code. As you might recall I have been working on getting wireless networking to work on some old notebook computers. I have not been able to get some of the packages I need to compile cleanly under BasicLinux. The precompiled Slackware 8.1 versions do not have all of the features I need so, I'm still thinking about how to to get this to happen and leave me a reasonably functional minimal system. I also had to build a new kernel because wireless networking is not enabled on the BasicLinux kernel. BTW did I miss something? I noticed on the BasicLinux web site that BasicLinux is now up to version 1.8? -- Rob Steinmetz To unsubscribe from SURVPC send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe SURVPC in the body of the message.
