It is, and it was. > you'll have to go into /var/lib/lrpkg and remove > the libc.* files and probably edit packages & backdisk (or their > equivalent > in Eigerstein) so that they no longer refer to the libc.lrp package... You're right about removing the /var/lib/lrpkg/libc.* files. > > This doesn't seem to be needed with Oxygen so it might no longer be > required > with Dachstein but it did seem necessary with ES2B... (Don't know if > it was > with "plain" Eigerstein...). Almost all programs on unix systems need some kind of c-library (libc). The programs in oxygen's root.lrp are statically linked with a tiny c-library (uClibc), so that they have a "builtin" libc and don't need a seperate one. The advantage of this is that Oxygen's root.lrp is independent of the version of glibc used. So if you feel like it you should be able to replace the libc.lrp that comes with Oxygen (it contains glibc-2.1.3) with your shiny new home-made 2.2.4 version. The disadvantage is that it costs a bit of diskspace (approx. 65kb on the ramdisk, 25kb on the floppy), because of the "builtin" libc. I hope this explains things a bit for you.
