It's a strange explanation, because Redhat just sent out the new glibc as an errata for Redhat 8.0 (because of some vulnerability discovered in the XDR code of the old glibc). So the new glibc is ok as an errata (that many people install without even thinking twice) but not as Redhat 8.1? trange... Maybe the real explanation is that they are trying to beat Mandrake's version number ;) -- Nadav Har'El | Monday, Mar 24 2003, 21 Adar II 5763 [EMAIL PROTECTED] |----------------------------------------- Phone: +972-53-245868, ICQ 13349191 |An egotist is a person of low taste, more http://nadav.harel.org.il |interested in himself than in me. ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
