ok, i removed libc5-dev, which also removed wg15-locale, flex and gcc
(and several -dev packages, but i assume i won't be needing those since
i'm no hacker, unfortunately :) ). now, i know i want gcc if i ever want
to compile a new kernel, right? but do i need flex or wg15? if so, should
i get it from unstable? should i install the stable gcc from dselect, or
get the version from unstable and dpkg it?

thanks loads,
matty
