However, some new distributions (like Slackware) don't even ship with that compiler any more. While it's easy enough to get, I believe the kernel is supposed to be stable on later releases now. What are your feelings on using other versions of gcc for XFS builds? What about GCC 3.1.latest? -- UNIX/Perl/C/Pizza__________________________________shannon@widomaker.com
