I'm new to this list, and honestly, I haven't tried using apt yet, and here's why: currently, the deb package depends on libc6. Hmmm... using it for upgrades might take some more thought.... :-) (I haven't followed all the discussion before--like I said, I'm new to the list--and I only read the digest--but I'm assuming people who used apt to upgrade compiled the source themselves on a libc5 system.... I haven't had the chance to do that yet, nor do I have a non-production machine to test it on right now. Too bad, really--sounds like it could be really useful.) ----- Kevin Squire [EMAIL PROTECTED] Research Student Nakajima Research Laboratory Tokyo Institute of Technology -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
