What's the Best Way to Upgrade My C Libraries?

2000-02-14 Thread C.M. Connelly
Hmm. We're just about at the point where I can no longer expect to be able to upgrade anything significant (using 'apt-get upgrade' or 'apt-get install ') without having to upgrade my C libraries first. But the last time I allowed apt-get upgrade to touch the C libraries, I had tons of problems.

resc1440.bin Installation woes

Hi I have been trying to install debian-powerpc on my PowerBase200 machine. It gets stuck at the "install Kernel and Modules" step - it finds the resc1440.bin image (which I put on my LinuxPPC partition), but is unable to mount it. The error message suggests using '-o loop' in the mount com

i used toast to create a bootable image, but didn't let it optimize so there's a lot of free space in the hfs partition. now i can loop-mount it under linux (hfs finds the right partition in the image to mount) to fix up the content and i don't have to use toast again (this part does need to be ve
