upgrade (bo-hamm), libc5 - libc6 concerns
Hi,
Just a few q's about why I should upgrade to hamm (Debain 2.0).
Are there any issues on what software I can and can't run when doing the
libc5-libc6 upgrade? I know this is an old subject, but i've never
really got a plain english answer as to what are the issues.
I tried upgrading my box at work (dual boot) using autoup.sh, but of
course we're stuck with MS i.e. 3, so instead of downloading relevant
*.debs as blah.blah.blah I got blah_blah.blah, which buggered up
autoup.sh. I then tried upgrading by hand, unsuccesfully, as I could
not find a clear explanation of how to do it by hand (the libc5-libc6
mini-howto just didn't work - no end of crap got broke and it's taking
me hours just to sort thins out one at a time [yes, i did run dselect
after the initial upgrade sveral times...]).
So, my machines at home - I've got hold of Linux Actual's (spain) deb
2.0 CDs, but just what will I get by upgrading? Will my ppp setup
continue working? Staroffice 4.0? Netscape?
An idiots guide appreciated! I'm not a complete novice, but my single
upgrade attempt broke big-time and 'once bitten twice shy' as they say,
Guidance gratefully received,
Martin
