What I always _always_ do before compiling a kernel of my own - I compile gcc 2.95.3 from source and put it in /opt/kernel/gcc 3.x may work fine - but last I looked, 2.95.3 is the one specified in the readme file to use if you are having problems, so I just use that one from the start. I do apply the LFS patches to it, they don't do anything special - but if you only compile the C compiler - then nvidia's geforce driver won't install properly (unless you modify the makefile in their installer to remove the flags that really don't need to be there) - the patches that the lfs project has takes care of that. -- Cheap Linux CD's - http://mpeters.us/linux/
