I have a machine with a fresh install of Slink. (This is *not* the same machine in my previous message which has the bash weirdness under potato.) I have been running the 2.2 kernel on a Red Hat v5.2 machine for the last few months. I want to do the same on the new Debian machine.
I looked on Debian's web page and found the 'gotchas' about running 2.2 on Slink. Unfortunately, the instructions seem a bit dated. I guess they were written before potato switched to glibc2.1. dpkg now complains about needing glibc2.1 when I tried to install the needed packages from potato. Upgrading from 2.0.x to 2.2.x kernels only needs upgrading only of other bits of software (i.e. modutils, procps, ipchains, etc.). I have no problem doing this manually. My question is will I break Slink by going this route? If so, is there a more proper way? Sorry if this is a FAQ, but the info on Debian page no longer seems accurate.
