PeeWeeLinux question...

As an aside, the reason that gcc 2.96 is not able to compile some stuff is
because technically there is no gcc 2.96. See the GNU site here:
http://www.gnu.org/software/gcc/gcc-2.96.html
Basically, 2.96 is development code working towards 3.0. (2.97 falls into
this category too) The most recent formal release of gcc is 2.95.2.

Hi,
Thank you for sharing the solution you found regarding RedHat 7.0. I
forwarded your email to the PWL list as well for reference.
I am currently spending what little spare time I have left at building a
secure webserver to replace my aging server in place now. Once that has
been accomplished I will be looking at more PeeWeeLinux development.
Unfortunately I am left with very little time these days...
TTYL,
Adi
