Re: gcc-3.2 on a testing box

[John Schmidt <jas@netbrick.com>]

I installed the modutils from unstable and modconf from testing.  Is 
the likelihood that modutils from unstable should be okay for a testing 
distribution?  The kernel is based on the 2.2compact series from woody.

On a different testing box, I am actually building gcc-3.2 from the 
debian source.  

Thanks for your input.
