I can't put in the 2.2.7 kernel now, as tar complains of chown problems. Summary: libc2.1.1-2 kernel 2.0.35 Boots, can't logon (Unable to change tty /dev/ttyp0: Success) chown broken libc2.1.1-2 kernel 2.2.7 Doesn't boot I was thinking of running the preinst/postinst scripts myself, if libc6 2.2.1-3 is OK. In what order do I run libc 2.2.1-2 postrm / 2.2.1-3 preinst?
