Hi, first of all: thanks for your detailed reply! :-) I will try it this way next time, but for this weekend I go on with Windows, because I have to put some records in the database asap.

Maybe not my preferred approach, but if it works its perfect for now.. :-) I need it for my small shop and for my hobby network where I have Linux and Windows machines (for Games and other users like my mum =P). If Vista is too annoying I'll go and buy a game console and drop Windows completely. Building debs is not that difficult, if you know about the secret where all the files have to be located. But with all the different versions and dependencies in mind maybe it doesn't make much sense at all. I maybe also have to take a closer look at the older solution I used before for the version 0.22. This didn't include a .deb, it built one on the fly. Thanks & have a nice weekend, /\\atthias |
