The problem is mainly a lack of time. Over the years I've developed my own customised mini-distribution based on 2.0. I simply don't have the time at the moment to rebuild the entire distribution from scratch (using 2.4 and glibc). Key advantages of the old distribution: (Much) smaller footprint in both RAM and HDD, better speed, and better compatibility with old hardware. ClamAV is one of the very few applications I cannot easily make to work on that platform. All other applications such as sendmail, procmail, openssh, samba, etc are the latest releases. Someone else already running the distribution would like simple "plug in" AV capability, instead of upgrading a server with frequent multi-month uptimes. Yes, they are very happy with it and don't want to change if possible. Can you help out with the problem itself? Thanks.
