I'm not sure how to test this. The 2.0.35 kernel won't boot on my SparcStation 20. > I also just found that man dosn't work. :) Damn. You'll have to describe the exact problems, before I can determine whether it is man, nroff, less, or something else. (They work on my system.) Try: zcat /usr/man/man1/ls.1.gz | nroff -man | less (I assume everything was working before you upgraded from glibc 2.0.100 to glibc 2.0.105?) Steve [EMAIL PROTECTED]
