Hi John,

It has been a long time since I have heard from you. How are you doing?

I downloaded the latest pkgsrc last week with cvs, but I could not get
libtool to build. So, I was unsuccessful at building ImageMagick. I'd like
to download pkgsrc-2004Q2 to see if that makes a difference, but I keep
getting errors. Is that only on some of the cvs mirrors?

I really can't remove some of these, like jpeg or tiff (at least for a
long period of time), because some of them are being used by some php
scripts.

I have thought about this, and I have a second server that I am setting
up, but it has some hardware problems that I have not been able to track
down. It doesn't seem to like its keyboard or mouse, and if I boot with
the blizzard 2060 card installed, then it has problem with its floppy
drive. Also, if I boot from a hard drive everything that is on the monitor
gets shifted to the left. I thought that it maybe a problem with its CIA
chips, but I can't seem to find any of the spares that I have for Agnus.

Thanks,
Al
