Ah, yes, it probably wasn't...

I got it to work with newer sources eventually. I grabbin some even newer

The main problem seems to be getting down to reading the documentation :-)

If I knew which files I needed to grab and put where and what to type to

Actually, since my machine is not on the network there thats the only way 
of doing it. I'm still able to grab them pretty much as fast as a floppy

Yes, you're probablyt right. It was just easier to hack the Makefile than 
work out what I'm really supposed to change :-)
