Re: Solved: Re: libc6: How to downgrade
When Woody was declared stable, an spanish magazine MundoLinux, sold an
official copy of the distro 8 CD's.
I have a fast Internet connection and most of the times I install my
Debian throug the net, but I liked the idea of having the 8 cd's with
cool drawings on them. Besides that magazine donated some of the
benefits to the Debian project.
To the point... in that special number came a guide of instalation and
new features of Woody. I found that trick on that guide.
Glad to be of help.
