And, in general, if you want to run CVS, I'd recommend running HEAD or a regularly-updated snapshot (I use the emacs-snapshot packages for Debian; they're usually updated weekly, and I have found that they work pretty well). Any given snapshot is liable to have bugs which are fixed later. If HEAD is broken badly, it's usually fixed quickly (in my experience, within the day); if you have a snapshot from a bad time, then it won't be fixed until the next snapshot. - Michael -- mouse, n: A device for pointing at the xterm in which you want to type.
