Support for glibc2.1 is provided by compat-glibc. I don't know for sure
whether MandrakeUpdate needs it or not, but I had no problems with
MandrakeUpdate when I did the glibc2.2 upgrade on 7.2. As the notes on
that site say, not everything off the Cooker becomes easier with glibc2.2
installed, but things like XFree86 4.02, become MUCH easier.

Thank you, I'll give it a try at weekend.
What about the second question - is it still possible to use
MandrakeUpdate after switching over to glibc-2.2?
TIA

Let me recommend www.pclinuxonline.com. They have a really good
instruction page on getting glibc 2.2 installed with Mandrake 7.2.
Have fun!
