A good idea, but I still have to do some searching for a special
vendor. I looked inside a Woody CD set and into the CDs of a SuSe and
a Mandrake distribution, but there wasn't much of source code. Well,
this is the first time that I start facing the problem of compiling
from source so I don't really know, but I have the impression that
some time ago a normal distribution carried her source code with it.

Never mind. I cannot expect Mandrake to help me with slackware )
