cool! I was watching the text scroll by and noticed a red 'fail'. I tried to go up to the 'fail' but the terminal wouldn't let me and by the time it had finished the 'fail' was way past the buffer. I need to know if the following (the commands you are supposed to enter with the package) plus my modifications ('>>' and 'cat {*.fail}|grep fail') will reveal what failed so I can google it. {FORCE_UNSAFE_CONFIGURE=1 ./configure \ --prefix=/usr \ --enable-no-install-program=kill,uptime}>>config.fail make >>make.fail make NON_ROOT_USERNAME=nobody check-root>>check.fail echo "dummy:x:1000:nobody" >> /etc/group chown -Rv nobody . {su nobody -s /bin/bash \ -c "PATH=$PATH make RUN_EXPENSIVE_TESTS=yes check"}>>test.fail sed -i '/dummy/d' /etc/group make install>>install.fail mv -v /usr/bin/{cat,chgrp,chmod,chown,cp,date,dd,df,echo} /bin mv -v /usr/bin/{false,ln,ls,mkdir,mknod,mv,pwd,rm} /bin mv -v /usr/bin/{rmdir,stty,sync,true,uname,test,[} /bin mv -v /usr/bin/chroot /usr/sbin mv -v /usr/share/man/man1/chroot.1 /usr/share/man/man8/chroot.8 sed -i s/\"1\"/\"8\"/1 /usr/share/man/man8/chroot.8 mv -v /usr/bin/{head,sleep,nice} /bin cat *.fail|grep fail :-)~MIKE~(-:
