If you install glibc or glibc2 on a libc5 system, you will mess it up unless
you know what you are doing. If you need to install StarOffice 5.0, it comes
with glibc2 runtimes. The glibc2 runtimes can be installed on libc5 systems.
I have OpenLinux on my machine, but I am waiting for Caldera to update their
libs to glibc, and that should be soon.
