Thank you RH for updating the RawHide release.
A few thoughts though:
Trying to install the latest glibc (2.1.92-14.2.4) conflicts with the
kernel I'm currently running: 2.2.16. (Wont change to 2.4.0-pre until I've
resolved how to replace the masquerade setup in ipchains with iptables.)
# rpm -Uvh
error: failed dependencies:
kernel < 2.4.0 conflicts with glibc-2.1.92-14.2.4
1. If installing the new glibc by temporarily booting
kernel-2.4.0-0.x, will it be possible to run kernel-2.2.x again??
Since kernel-2.2.16-24 is shipped together with
kernel24-2.4.0-0.29.1 it seems to be the case. Can someone
please enlighten me.
2. Obviously there is a dependency between kernel header files and
glibc header files. Should this dependency rule out possibilities
to boot various kernels, eg 2.2.x and 2.4.0-prex given a glibc
version?
3. As I've understood, glibc should be compiled with the latest kernel
header files installed. Shouldn't the dependency check above be on the header
file level, instead of the kernel currently running?
