That would be more work than building from scratch, as you'd lose the default config that comes bundled with any installation and reflects the build (e.g. builtin vs loadable modules). Debian has its own ideas about packaging. Some people like it. Pick one or the other and stick to it! Advantage of the Debian's package: apt will automate upgrades for you. Advantage of installing Apache package: you won't find yourself the wrong side of the documentation gap: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2006/11/04/apache_packages_support_vacuum/ -- Nick Kew --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscribe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx For additional commands, e-mail: users-help@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
