<shrug> if you do this once in a while, this is ok.... kernel-package doesn't facilitate doing kernel development though. > Btw, the same libc6 2.3.1 on i386 does not require any particular kernel; it > works on 2.4.18 just fine. yes, but we fixed a lot of hppa bugs in 2.4.19. you're just lucky that you haven't run into them yet. :-) in particular i think the following things in glibc need a 2.4.19 hppa kernel: get/setcontext, signals with 64-bit kernels, LFS support.... i've probably missed something. randolph -- Randolph Chung Debian GNU/Linux Developer, hppa/ia64 ports http://www.tausq.org/
