* "KORN Andras" | Having statically linked versions of apt and dpkg, combined with perhaps | sash, would probably allow you to replace a running system with Debian (as | overwriting libraries would pose no threat). I haven't tried this since the | 'bo' adventure outlined above, though. Has anyone else?
I have, with nothing statically linked except for sash. It was quite fun, at least the second time. The first time was on my home computer, which doesn't have a floppy drive, and won't boot from either of the cds. 'rpm -e glibc' is cool to type; similar to 'rm -rf /', I imagine. I am not sure whether you are interested in the gory details -- It's really not that hard. You need to have a non-broken ar (which I hadn't; I only had the one from sash which was broken at the time) and grab the relevant libraries and dpkg. rpm -e the different parts of the running system while replacing them with their deb counterparts immediately afterwards. -- Tollef Fog Heen Axiom #1: You Can't Win -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
