Where can I find a libc6.1 for intel?
I have uploaded i386 binaries and source to <http://master.debian.org/%7Eespy/glibc/>.
I built the package with 2.1.125ac2 kernel headers.Note that the binary packages have had no testing, the packaging is *probably* OK, but I can't vouch for the libraries themselves.
The packaging should support all Debian architectures, i386, powerpc, and sparc have all been tested with this or somewhat earlier incarnations of my packaging.
Will the current netutils just work with IPv6 after recompiling or do I have to patch it?
AFAIK, the current Debian net-tools is new enough that a reconfig (net-tools has an interactive configure script to decide which protocols it should support) and recompile should offer IPv6 support.
BTW, please be aware that this is only a test release, and you probably will find bugs.
