Putting libc.so.6 on a CDROM to run programs will probably work but is
unsupported and I have never done it. You would need not only libc.so.6
but also ld-linux.so.2. Personally I just compile libc5 versions of
stuff. There are several mini distributions based on glibc6, if you
really need to run a cd full of stuff, you should just get one of the
libc6 cd boot distributions. -Tom
