Re: [Cooker] [AAARRRGGH!] Warning: new glibc broke my box
Hey gang; I didn't see a notice here, so I thought I would ask: I am seeing glibc-2.3.2-10mdk up on (some of) the mirrors. Is this version o.k. to upgrade to from -8 ?

BTW, where do I get a 9.2 rescue CD ? Or do you mean 9.1 ? It's the installation CD (the first one) of 9.2 beta1.
