Greetings What would the bear necessities for compiling a piece of software that I downloaded. Lets say it is a driver, and needs to be copied into the /usr/src/linux`uname-r`/drivers directory. Surely I don't need 300MB of development tools installed on my system. Look at the menu under programming, There are 17 applications that I will probably never use, and not to mention all the programming apps that run from the command line. So if I want to recompile my kernel or a piece of software / driver : I need Kernel sources makemenu config gcc c++ and what else? ;-) -- Chadley Wilson Redhat Certified Technician Cert Number: 603004708291270 Pinnacle Micro Manufacturers of Proline Computers ==================================== Exercise freedom, Use LINUX =====================================
