15 Thanks... Thats Ok I have plenty of native opterons I can build on I was
16 just more concerned if I needed extras like binutils etc (and hence have

19 Onto it now... Hopefully I can build up a nice kernel for that laptop
20 and when the client comes back just drop it in and everything (fingers
21 crossed) will go.

23 Kind regards
