I'd like to see if any of you could test drive the upcoming Oxygen
release.

After an initial foray and some fudging, it would seem that glibc 2.1
is the way to go.  I've converted Oxygen to run with glibc 2.1, and it
seems to work well.

Networking is the part that probably needs testing the most, as I
haven't put in a host of different configuations, etc.  It now uses ip
instead of ifconfig/route, and also /etc/init.d/loopback no longer
exists.

The most notable changes to the one single boot disk is:

* ipchains: missing
* netstat: missing
* ncurses: missing
* ifconfig: missing
* route: missing
* syslinux: missing (not syslinux booting; syslinux.lrp!)
* mkdosfs: missing
* fdformat: missing

Once I got used to it, these were not missed.  ipchains is now on the
Firewall Disk; everything else is on the "Easy Disk" which also now
contains the editors, libm.lrp, dialog.lrp, etc.  Freed up about 200M
of space on each disk where they were found.  Note that 'ip' IS
present....

As a result of going to glibc 2.1, all of the Segmentation Faults
(fdisk, tftp, file, busybox more) all seem to have gone away!  It
feels good to be free of those problems.

glibc 2.0.7 (with Debian security patches et al from 9 September) is
suspect in that area - apparently contained in termio in glibc.
