i would STRONGLY reccomend you do NOT upgrade libc6 on a potato system without doing a full upgrade. i run mysql 3.23.42 on a potato system, i compiled from source, i run the same version on a woody system. it works fine .. i tried building the packages from testing(or was it unstable) for mysql 3.23 a while back(~6 months) and was unsucessful..lotta dependencies.. nate
