Should it not be possible to run an hamm/slink mixed system. I think
this
is the same as the libc5/libc6 situation on i386 an m68k. should the
hamm
libc6 not have been libc5 instead ?

Funny, how do i install the slink libc packages without a working dpkg ?
i have
only a small hd (~100MB only and no compiler installed)

a thanks, i didn't know that. it is part of libc6 then ? should we not
create a ldso package with this file for compatibility ? Would be nice
to have
a debian-powerpc faq or something like that, with infos of this kind.

i will try again, i did not say that it don't work, just that i had
problems with it,
i think the lack of a base.tar.gz make the test procedure more
difficult.
i could then install an clean slink dist, and have no problem with old
glibc 1.99
parts yet lying around. Any release date for such a thing ? what is
hindering it ?
mount and the rest of th e2fs packages ?
