I'm running from Debian unstable, and the kernel is 2.6.11+ as I build from the BK sources. I'll be running the current BK in a few minutes once the build completes. > The packages just ended up killing my debian machine :-/ That is bad to hear. I'm running the libc6 snapshot on an old Pentium-MMX machine, and will be shortly running it on my SparcStation 20 (sparc32) when I get around to doing the install. Installation for me was a matter of downloading libc6, libc6-dev, glibc-doc, and locales into one directory and then # dpkg -i libc*.deb locales*.deb glibc-doc*.deb Things worked without a hitch.
