Re: srm nightmare, milo & kernel future questions
just install gcc-3.2 in addition to gcc-2.9.5. You then should change
the link for gcc to point to gcc-3.2 (It probably points to gcc-2.9.5).
This is one of the nice things about gcc that you can easily put
various different versions of it on your machine and use them in
parallel.
I'm confused about how to do this. I added unstable to my sources.list to
get access to 3.2, but in dselect that wants to upgrade the universe. If I
just run apt-get --simulate install gcc-3.2 I still get a ton of
dependencies (below), including the scary REMOVE on the 2.4.18 kernel that
I happen to be running!
How do I "just install gcc-3.2"? I guess I could just download the gcc-3.2
deb file and install that, but what about the other stuff it depends on?
Thanks,
Chris
