A few days ago I mentioned that I have been having problems installing slink because libc6 was giving me inconsistencies. I still don't know what the problem was, but I have a feeling it had something to do with dpkg. When I switched to the dpkg-apt method, everything went smoothly. After finally figuring out how to use apt-get and the dpkg-apt method, all I can say is - if you haven't used it yet - now's the time to learn. It's wonderful. -Jay
