James,

I'm not sure that this one uses autoconf.

This file I got this time wasn't from CVS although the last one was.

I've been madly installing everything related to QT and dev and libs etc
but without any joy. I have a feeling that what is needed doesn't exist
in unstable because QT1.3 is too old.

Perhaps I really should bite the bullet and just use isobuster on my
dad's W2k laptop then come back and learn how to make the an bootable
iso with mkisofs when my Linux skills a more mature.

regards,

Chris
