Re: Compiling X
I need to use 3.3.6 b/c of my video card, and only 3.2.11 version is
avaibliel for slink that I use. I dont want to upgrade to potato right
now, until I can get a CD. I don't think I could install 3.3.6 from
potato b/c of the dependencies, unless I upgrade the system....am I wrong
on that?
