I'm not sure if this is still a "requirement" with Dachstein but with ES2B the libraries apperently had to be stored in root.lrp (it would crash otherwise, I guess it needs it before loading the rest...). I too had a dual floppy installation (still have, just in case...) and I'm not sure if it would have fit but I must confess that in my case my floppy were formatted as 1.44 Mb and not as 1.68 Mb (I personnally don't trust 1.68...). > Is it just a matter of replacing some binaries and maybe some symbolic links? > If so which binaries and which links would that be? According to the following URL http://www.gnu.org/software/libc/FAQ.html#s-2.27 most of what has been compiled for glibc 2.0 should work with glibc 2.1 so I hadn't recompiled any of the programs... <WARNING THIS IS PROBABLY THE "COW BOY" WAY OF DOING THINGS AND IF YOU TRY IT YOU'RE DOING IT AT YOUR OWN RISKS AND I WOULD SUGGEST YOU DO A BACKUP OF YOUR DISKS.> That said, mostly what I had done was take the libc.lrp package from an Oxygen image, added it to SYSLINUX.CFG and rebooted. Most of the links where taken card of by that operation... I don't remember if I had that problem but it would seem that with Dachstein the following links would still point to glibc 2.0 librairies after that operation... libnss_dns.so.1 libnss_files.so.1.... libnsl.so.1 which on a full (Redhat-based) distribution point respectivly to: libnss1_dns-2.1.3.so libnss1_files-2.1.3.so libnsl-2.1.3.so which I would be tempted to copy from that full distribution... Anybody know what they're used for and whether it would be a good idea to copy them over from a "full distribution"? BTW, don't forget to delete the old glibc libraries before backing up... > Or is there more to it than that?

AFAIK, DCD (Dachstein CD) as distributed by Charles Steinkuehler uses glibc 2.0... Does somebody distributes an ISO image based on Dachstein which uses glibc 2.1.3? BTW, everything seemed to work ok after I had replaced the librairies but ONCE AGAIN, IF YOU TRY THIS YOU'RE DOING IT AT YOUR OWN RISKS... While I have many years of experience in the computer field I'm still quite a newbie when it comes to Linux and the modifications I had made where at my own risk & done in in a trial-error way... (sp?) BTW, if anybody know of anything I've done wrong or that I forgot to do, please do not hesitate to post... Have a nice day! Nick PS: Please forgive my English as it's not my mother tongue.
