I don't mean that as a literal question, and I can do a search for more info now that you've given me a hint. I mean how should I know about it, when it's not mentioned in any installation instructions I've ever seen? As to why I compiled from source, how else would I do it? To me that's the normal way to install most software (except for a few proprietaty things like Acrobat) that doesn't come with a distribution - and indeed, some that does. I generally recompile the kernel once I have a new system up & running... Thanks, James
