Well, Oxygen doesn't need two disks; it's just designed so that the
first disk holds basic system commands and utilities, and the
applications are on a second disk. It's also designed to load packages
over the network, also allowing you to use one disk and a network server
somewhere - perhaps even on the Internet somewhere.
However, glibc 2.1 is only in the development version; I'm fast reaching
the point that I may put it up for download as beta, and potentially
release it soon as a beta release.

There's no real adaptation involved; however, with the new crop of glibc
2.2 systems out there, you'll have to make sure that you really do
compile against glibc 2.1 - at least until I upgrade it to glibc 2.2 ;-)
