Hi folks Nothing quite like replying to yourself a month later. A few weeks ago, I had another go at converting Bering to glibc 2.2.5, and irritatingly, it pretty much worked first time :-). I've now got a couple of routers out in the field running Bering RC1 and glibc 2.2.5, and it seems to be working a charm. For those that asked, the increase in bloat probably rules out single floppy systems, but it's not enormous:
Original Bering: -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 409022 Mar 19 00:56 initrd.lrp -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 317849 Mar 22 01:22 root.lrp Glib2.2 Bering: -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 916546 Apr 9 00:08 initrd.lrp -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 380303 Apr 8 23:02 root.lrp About the only trap in the transition is that you have to increase the size of the minix file system in initrd.lrp and of the initial ramdisk to accomodate the bloat.
