Hmmm Im on a RedHat 6.0 system and I just did a
rpm -Uvh ftp://ftp.at.somesite.somewhere/the/path/to/glibc-2.1.2-11.i386.rpm
and it worked fine the first time. No conflicts, No Deps.
Now I do recall a lot of problems when I tried to do that back in 5.0 with
glibc-2.0.something but this one worked first time. May be ill read that HOWTO
anyway.
