Package: www.debian.org
Version: N/A
The page "Errata: Running Linux 2.2.x in slink" located at
http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/running-kernel-2.2 points
directly to unstable packages that are slowly being converted to
libc6(>=2.1). Thus a user can not simply drop them in as replacments
for their current versions. Perhaps it would be better if a small
repository of these required packages could be built against a stock
slink system so a user would not have to try and build them for
themselves.

That would indeed be "nice", but the fact is, there is no such
repository available.
The documentation team merely provides the best documentation
available. We cannot change the world. If there *were* such a
repository, then a bug should be filed that we should point to it.
Since there is not, I am closing this bug.
However, I have added a paragraph to the top of the web page in
question which talks about this issue a bit. (May take a few days for
this change to appear).
