If you upgrade a slink installation to libc6 2.1.1, you will probably have some problems. I know I did, and I went back to libc6 2.07 I suppose you could upgrade to potato and avoid the problems. If you try it on a slink system, do not go back from the potato version of ld.so to the slink version or you will break the system; I just kept the newer ld.so when I went back to the older libc6. -- Andrew [PGP5.0 Key ID 0x5EE61C37]
