> 1. is that libc6 error a requirement or a recomendation. Required. I'm not in the habit of forcing failed package installs for trivial things :) If you don't head that warning, your box will be broken.
> 2. is the 2.2.7 kernel stable enough for production use. If you are running a 2.0.x kernel on a sparc, you don't really know the meaning of stable until you upgrade to a 2.2.x (2.2.15 recommended) kernel. Believe me, the speed and stability improvements are well worth it. I would do this before upgrading to potato completely: apt-get install kernel-image-2.2.15-sun4cdm (unless you feel more comfortable with compiling your own, then do that) ...reboot, then: apt-get dist-upgrade You should be good to go after that. Please report any problems, if any. I'm assuming from that message above, you are running a sun4m type system. You should be very happy with the upgrade on that type of system (my current production LX server, also a sun4m, is very happy with it's 160 day uptime, using potato and 2.2.10 kernel).
