1.) Stopping GDM should kill the session you are in. You can apt-get from a different VT, after closing any open docs..etc.in VT7. 2.)Put the existing libc6 package on hold, anything depending on the new libc6 won't be upgraded though. -- Greg Madden -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
