Try the Debs at the following apt URI

deb http://www.debian.org/~joeyh/ stable-update/

Or you can add 

deb-src ftp://ftp.es.debian.org/debian potato main contrib non-free

to your apt sources.list file and build the debian binary using the 
'apt-get -compile source ' method which has been disucussed
several times on this list(check the archives).

Yup, you're right. I didn't explain myself clearly enough.

I have installing programs from scratch, and I found out that many
of the program versions that are needed for v2.2 which are in the potato
distribution need libc6 2.1 in order to run.

I was just wondering if somebody had made a version of them that
runs with libc6 2.0. Something like netbase_3.12-2_i386, which is from
potato but is compiled to run ok on slink.

You don't need to install any glibc2.1 packages to run kernel 2.2 - I'm
doing it right now.  You just need to update some programs as per the
kernel documentation (best by compiling from scratch, imo).

kernel series v2.2 and new deb packages

1999-10-31 Thread Pere Camps
Hi!

Does anybody know where to get the deb packages needed to run
linux v2.2.x which don't need libc6 > 2.1?

I want to install 2.2.13 but I can't install libc6 > 2.1 with the
slink system as I'm worried that it will break too many things.

Thanks for your help.
