ITYM `chance', but yes.

NOTE: `make' is not necessary after `make bootstrap', and `sudo make install' may be more useful when not building with superuser credentials. Having said that, this is a *very* nice, short and useful description of some build requirements for Emacs 23.X on Debian GNU/Linux. Is there isn't already a page about this, do you think we can convince you to add it to the EmacsWiki? While you are at it, it may also be useful to list dependencies like `libm17n-dev' for multilingual text support, `libpng12-dev' and `librsvg2-dev' for more image formats, and `libotf-dev' for OpenType font support. If you have a bit of time and you can add this to the Wiki, that would be great. If you are a bit busy but you would feel ok about someone else copying the text you wrote and using it as a basis for a page of the EmacsWiki, just email me and I will add the page.
