Tried that, it failed too. dpkg -i --force-all on libc6 and kernel-image all failed. libc6 failed saying I need kernel-image-2.4.21 kernel-image-2.4.21 failed with a bunch of depmod errors and was left in a half-installed state. Since the pre-install of libc6 checks what kernel you are running and it looks like it only will install if your running kernel is 2.4.21 (or higher?) I had to do all of this to make it work. -- Bob Tanner <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | Phone : (952)943-8700 http://www.mn-linux.org, Minnesota, Linux | Fax : (952)943-8500 Key fingerprint = AB15 0BDF BCDE 4369 5B42 1973 7CF1 A709 2CC1 B288
