Upgrading glibc at all, let alone two revisions, is a very dangerous thing to do. I can update almost anything else, but I don't even try to update glibc in place. When I do that, I start from the beginning and rebuild everything. I think you were lucky to get wireless to run. About the only thing I can recommend is that you rebuild LFS from the beginnng. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
