Let me try if I understand your instruction here,
and see if I can get anything.

And no, I don't get any banner, it hasn't got to the
flash screen at all.

Sorry if that sounds like flaming. I didn't do
anythign
for the whole, was working on a paper, and have
Eclipse
open on some test codes (which has nothing to do with
FDS). Eclipse started to hang, and then Gnome, and
then
nothing works, except the cursor.

But before I reset, I forgot that I have fds running.

No, this is the package I downloaded. It's in rpm
format, I use alien to convert it to a deb package,
and installed. 

I've never been able to build it yet, have been
banging
my head and asking for help on this list for a long
time.

Maybe I should just install a fedora distro or
something...

thanks
