yeah, the "Mini-HOWTO" man! :) so far, ldso_1.9.5-1 is the only unstable package i've installed. what i really want is to install the GIMP and bash 2.01(-5 is the latest, if I'm correct). bash to fix Netscape helpers and GIMP 'cuz it's *cool*. :)
i guess i'm one release behind in libc5 (i have -6 and i guess there's a -7) so i'll get that and go from there. but for now it's off to work i go. ttyl and thanks loads, matty Matt Thompson MZI, Inc. v-206.430.3726 707 S.
