Thanks guys (both Kenn & Paul)
Ye've been a great help. I've eventually gone the RH 7.0 and downgrade
bits rather than RH 6.2 and upgrade. The only stuff I really don't want
off RH 7 is the unofficial gcc... As to the XFree4 debs - I just got
your mail too late, Paul. Thanks for the tip, though.
Cheers,
Dave.
