Thank you Fernando & Anthony;
The question of the worthwhileness, of the whole idea of compiling
Eclipse was one consideration. It does appear, from your responses,
that it is a worthwhile effort, which is something I wasn't sure about.
I will take a bit of time perusing RedHat's site when next I have the
time online. At one time I thought there was a page, managed by a
RedHat programmer, that laid out what needed to be done. That is what
I was looking for.
Thanks
Dave
