Package: release-notes
Severity: wishlist

Contrary to the glibc in sarge, the glibc in etch does not support
kernels << 2.4.1 anymore, except for m68k.

I think the release notes should mention that users have to upgrade to a
kernel >= 2.4.1 *before* trying to upgrade to sarge.

Hi,

I added this part to the release notes:
          <p>Support for 2.2-kernels has been dropped.
          In case you run such a kernel, you need to upgrade to (at least) the
          2.4-series before upgrading the <package/glibc/, which means:
          best before starting with the upgrade.
          It is recommended to upgrade to the 2.6-kernel series.

If you think anything is wrong/missing, please feel free to reopen
this bug report again.

Thanks for your help.


Cheers,
Andi
