however, i suspect it would be possible to download the latest X cvs and use the debian/ directory from the debian package of X. might be do-able. huge undertaking though. i'd say it would cost an entire day. maybe more. that's probably one of the hardest things to package. pete _______________________________________________ vox-tech mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.lugod.org/mailman/listinfo/vox-tech
