Ok, so 512MB it is. How about a 5.2 and 5.3 system? Just need some specifics
on rootpw and any other specifics that are important. I can get those
systems rockin' next week for you. (Gotta find my later 5.2 CD's for virtual
support, but the 5.3 I can do immediately)

That's a gcc option, correct? and you're compiling with cc?

I'll have to svn the samba_3_0 tree and try it here to get the specifics.


Cheers,
