Thanks all:
Yes I know that glibc-2.2.2 is development. I am just on a learning
expedition. It does not matter if I destroys my LM 7.2. I can just
reinstall it.
I have tried every key combination I could think of. Still can not get
to the bottom of the error messages. But no matter. Good old alt, ctrl &
f2 then kill will take care of it. But it has been a good learning
experience.
