thanks for that explaination, much appreciated! i think the 
next iso will be with gcc 4.1.1, right? i will update when 
its released, so that i am at least then up-to-date! :)

btw, do we support older releases of lunar? i mean, with 
the new iso we cannot guarantee that the modules in the 
moonbase will work with older releases...or does anyone 
here have one box for each release of lunar to test? :P
