Thanks a lot, David, this is exactly the info I was looking for. Only one extra question: > > 3) how do I modify which makefiles to compile and install only > > the apps listed above? > > Put this in inst-apps before running Makefile.cvs I was expecting/hoping to have to do the usual process: ./configure make make install after editing some file somewhere. Does your suggestion mean that I have to modify that file and then *can* run the 3 step process above, or do I have to do something completely different?
