Thanks to Doug MacFarlane, Osamu Aoki, J. W. Dixon and Rob Weir for great answers. Just to clear up why I did what I did, which people understandably wondered about: I needed 4.2, not 4.1 (at least, so I was told by a guy with the same notebook). At the time I did it, 4.2 was not in testing (this was a while ago; I have been very busy since then). Now I'll try using of the Debianized 4.2 packages people indicated, and I will read up on libc6 issues between woody and testing before I decide which way to go. You're a high-performance list, guys!
