Ok, so I'm getting ready to install the glibc22 binaries from the ftp
site, but before I do that I just thought I should ask:
Can anyone summarize (or even better, list in excruciating detail) the
steps required to go back to my current version of X (4.3rc2) if the new
install is more problematic than the current install?
I'll take a stab at it.
To save the current state of just the X11 distribution:
su -
(password)
cd /
tar cvfz /root/X11-backup.tgz usr/X11R6 etc/X11
To restore the saved state:
su -
(password)
cd /
rm -rf /usr/X11R6 /etc/X11
tar xvfz /root/X11-backup.tgz
Thanks! What about kernel modules, though? And I'm guessing I'd need
to run ldconfig again after doing a tar restore, right?
