hello
i am using RH7
up2date tells me that glibc needs updating but "The packages were marked to
be skipped by your configuration"
under the package retrieval options i have selected " Do not display
packages when local configuration file has been modified"
What local configuration files have i modified with glibc? i hardly know
what it is ,. but i did compile a network card driver and
have updated the kernel to 2.2.18
i would like to update this if possible, what should i do before i update
the glibc?
thanks
randy
