No matter what program you try to install form 7.10 it will depend on the version of libc in 7.10. So you will have to upgrade libc first. You can upgrade your system partially. I have done that and didn't experience any breakages, but that doesn't mean that even you won't have problem. All you have to do is add 7.10 repository, apt-get update and then selectively install packages. Onkar -- Passion - Some people climb mountains - others write Free software.
