If you can boot a rescue CD or an install CD you can get a system up from a ram drive and access the debs that way. It might be easier than trying the other way :)So, the question: would some generous soul that has Woody installed (libc6.1 and libc6.1-dev version 2.2.5-11.5) please send me the plain files, so that I can put them back manually? Thanks for the help, j. b. oliveira
