It's on the package list but doesn't seem to be available on the running system. Just wondering if finnix-88 x86 is supposed to include any gcc.

I've found a bug/problem and wanted to contact you but couldn't find any contact information on your wiki, so I hope you read this comment. I've tried to install Finnix to a harddrive since version 87.0. It goes wrong when typing "apt-get install linux-image-2.6-686" after answering "yes" to updating the grub boot menu. apt-get hangs and won't continue. When i press ctrl+c to abort, the error is something with dependancy's, about linux-686 depending on linux-image-2.6.11-2-686 but that package is not yet configured or something like that. Run the tutorial yourself and you'll find out. My hardware is an VMware virtual machine (vmware server 1.01). I don't know whether you have already been informed about this issue, but I hope you'll be able to fix the tutorial, because I think Finnix is also great for installing on harddrives. With Kind Regards, Jeroen Hey Ryan Finnie. I've found a bug/problem and wanted to contact you but couldn't find any contact information on your wiki, so I hope you read this comment.
