Thanks Jan
That was tense! ;) At this stage I've only done glibc and jdk. Good
news - I can open spreadsheets with no problem now. The reasons for
going into OSX diminish ;)
My only comment on the process is that I didn't really know what I was
doing. I think I'll write up some notes that may help people who, like
me, don't know much ;)
I'll continue for a while with 1.0.3 until I feel brave enough to take
on the challenge of 1.1. I downloaded everything bar something.udeb in
the glibc folder and everything in the jdk folder. I suspect I didn't
need ncsd, should I remove it? Also I seem to have installed some sort
of webserver in the process - if I run top there is a daemon thttpd
running, is this a coincidence or have I installed it inadvertantly?
Sorry to ask so many dumb questions ;)
Clive
