Hi,

I have a simple question:

  What happens to the old compilers on my Linux/GNU-system, if I install
  the new gcc? These old compilers are egcs/gcc.
  I don't like old programs/files linger around on my system...
  Are the old files overwritten by the installation? What about files
  of the old compilers not exists in the new? Are they removed? Should
  I first deinstall the old compilers? (Or do I need them for installing
  the compiled new gcc?)

  I am running a SuSE (6.1, partly 6.2) Linux system with egcs and
  gcc(-wrapper?).

Thanx in advance,
Robert W.
