Should it not be possible to run an hamm/slink mixed system. I think this is the same as the libc5/libc6 situation on i386 an m68k. should the hamm libc6 not have been libc5 instead ? > > I tried to install slink iun a separate partition, but dpkg was not > > happy at all. > > Native dpkg for powerpc under glibc-2.1 makes trouble!

Any release date for such a thing ? what is hindering it ? mount and the rest of th e2fs packages ? Friendly Sven LUTHER -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
