From /usr/src/linux-2.2.3/Documentation/Changes: > Yeah I know, but after seeing the problems with Netscape 4.5 running under libc5; I have a deep suspiscion that libc5 and libc6 are not compatible in some tiny way. Furthurmore I don't think much effort is going into finding out either; everyone is just moving on to libc6. So if you are going to compile a kernel that was designed for libc6 with libc5; I would expect a little "quirk" to pop up somewhere. No one has ever explained why Netscape 4.5 keeps giving bus errors when run under libc5. But under libc6 it is fine. So what is the "glitch" ? Who knows what might happen in the kernel? Why risk it? - To get out of this list, please send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e Check out the SuSE-FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/ and the archive at http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html
