Yes, in debian/project/experimental Scott> Can dftp be used instead? I'd hate to have to download the whole Scott> bloody 1.1 hierarchy across my 14.4 modem... Try the dpkg-ftp method, an add-on tp dselect, by Andy Guy. If it fails, you can harass him with a local phone in Calgary :-) Scott> I assume I'll need a kernel with both ELF and a.out capability, but Scott> I understand there are a *lot* of interdependencies with the new ELF Scott> libraries, etc. dpkg takes care of that. You need access to what you find in unstable/binary/base, though. Scott> Also, is it necessary to upgrade the whole system to ELF, or can Scott> libc and such be upgraded while retaining the ability to run a.out Scott> stuff? Very much so. You can all but two Elf progs on your box. Compile aout and elf, just as you wish. -- Dirk Eddelb"uttel http://qed.econ.queensu.ca/~edd
