I realise this would be slow to install on slower systems, but, since we're all power users... ;) Seriously though, I do think this would be a nice feature, unless there's some practicality reason I'm missing." ------------------------------------------------------------- I think this is a great idea. I heard of a GNU/Linux distrobution that when installed compiled all selected packages from source, making it the most optimized you could get for your specific machine. I think it was called Rock Linux or something. Anyway, I think Tom, yet again, has a very wonderful idea. It may take awhile to install, but think of how much it would be worth it :) Later, Bryce
