Well, see my previous - I *think* I've done the upgrade. I *think* I may
now be on glibc2 - at least as regards the core library (libc-2.0.7.so
linked to from libc.so.6) and the loader (ld-linux.so.etc) but not the
other libraries, that form the glibc2 installation from StarOffice - one
or more of those causes a number of bad failures in the rest of the SuSE
system. Many services fail to start.
