Humm, maybe you can upgrade to hamm and then build your own set with boot-floppies.deb.. Oh, no that isn't what you want I think :-) > I tried to follow the libc5-libc6-HOWTO but failed on the second step: > 'dpkg -i ldso_???' worked fine but 'dpkg -i libc6_???' failed due to a > conflict with libc5; am I missing something obvious? is there an other > HOWTO on this subject? You have to install the libc5 from hamm first. Here's what I did, it worked fine for me. get ( from hamm ): libc5 ldso libc6 ncurses3.0 ncurses3.4 libreadline2 libreadlineg2 bash dpkg dpkg-dev dpkg-ftp perl Before installing any of these, start dselect and purge everything with "-dev" in the package name, "wg15-locale" and "libpthread*". Now install the packages listed above in that order with dpkg -i. When you have successfully done that, use dselect to do the rest of the upgrading. You must set it to look for packages in: dists/unstable/main dists/unstable/non-free dists/unstable/contrib BTW, I found that doing a "reboot" after upgrading can give problems, because init seems to lose its sense of runlevel. If you "sync" "umount -a" "sync" "reboot" then you should be fine. Good luck, Joost -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
