I've done in place upgrade of Glibc (2.13->2.14.1) and rebuild (2.16.0 -> 2.16.0 + few patches + multilib). I used binaries in /tools to remove old files and install new ones since I track which package install which file. I'd strongly recommend using either /tools if you still have them or static shell and utilities like BusyBox. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
