It might be a good idea to reboot the system and see if everything comes up ok. Some errors might not be immediately noticble, though. So much code links to libc6 that is is probably the most critical package in the system. If the machine is not in production, has no special hardware requirements that require special configuration, and is physically accessible, I recommend completing the upgrade to woody. You might want to tie the output so you can catch any problems. > > Sucks, for a newb like me, there just isn't enough stuff in Stable to > get me going, all the cool stuff I need is in Testing, if I would have > known what I know now I would have started with Woody to avoid this > mess, oh well, I'm learning a lot.
