Shrug... I plan on tossing out the Corel supplied stuff as soon as Jim
has something I can install. At that point, we should re-do packages
anyway...
Untill then, a few tweaks here and there, as long as they are written
down, probably won't hurt anything. The one modification I had to do
concerned IPC stuff... how often do you use that anyway?:-> It was
worth it to me to get a working pager.

I need tools to build other packages now. Even the hardware is still
broken in some ways... I expect to have to redo a lot of these early
efforts anyway.
So did anyone get strace working? It is giving me some troubles with
the architecture, and I can't seem to get ahold of whatever RPM Corel
used to build it correctly.
