Well, just about the only thing I can compile is the kernel.. I want to
at least be able to compile Taper 6.8.2 and all of the KDE packages. I
used to be able to compile Taper, but I can't anymore -- I need to compile
it because the Debian distribution never works with the input fields
(ncurses problem I think) .. and KDE just rules.. I can only compile about
1/2 of the basic packages (libs, support, base, and games work; net media,
and all of the apps don't).
