Which is the core prob with the new gcc releases. By skipping straight to 3.2 we'll avoid 2 problem transitions.. 1 from 2.95 to 3.1 and then from 3.1/3.1.1 to 3.2 instead we'll have 2.95 to 3.2. As one of the gcc-3.1/gcc-3.2 Gentoo guys I support this plan (was one of the ones calling for it among the devs) and I'm working hard with all the other guys to send upstream patches to developers to make sure their applications are ready for the new gcc-3.2 platform. (this will benefit all distros). -- Doug Goldstein Developer (Laptops, WiFi, GCC-3.1) Gentoo Linux http://www.gentoo.org/~cardoe/
