Mark, I agree with you. Indeed, in retrospect, I can see that it was a rather bad idea for me to even mention using "--force" in a message with that subject!
Scott's mini-HOWTO is quite good and there is only ONE statement that is not completely clear to me. "If you wish to do libc6 development, you should first purge all the '-dev' packages on your system, the new development system will use packages with the suffix '-dev' for libc6 development and '-altdev' for libc5 development. You will wish to install the latest libc5 ..." Though I have not tried this yet (the machine with the development environment has not yet been upgraded) but I presume that by "... first purge all the '-dev' packages ..." he is referring to using dselect or dpkg and NOT to going in and deleting the files with 'rm'. best, -bill ____________________________________________________________________ Get free e-mail and a permanent address at http://www.netaddress.com -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
