So the script does all the odd jobs I mentioned...purging your dev
packages, getting altgcc etc....?


If so,

get latest hammified libc5 and put it in /tmp.
get latest autoup.sh script and put it in /tmp.
su
run autoup.sh script
when the script asks about ftp say yes or "f".
let the script keep doing it's thing

Then I'm done!, _No_ patching up of the system after the script runs?

Thanks,  sorry for belaboring the issue...
