no you should always download the woody sources and build them on potato, woody now has glibc 2.2 which is backword compatible with binaries compiled against glibc 2.1, but the reverse is not necessarily so. that is a binary compiled against glibc 2.2 may NOT work on a glibc 2.1 system. woody is no longer compatible with potato. you might get away with using woody binaries on potato but not always, its safer to just compile the woody sources. -- Ethan Benson http://www.alaska.net/~erbenson/
