/ Rob Weir <rweir@ertius.org> was heard to say:
| If you need to continue running a old, old, commercial, proprietary app
| that requires an old version of libc (or anything else, really), you can
| install it into it's own little chroot containing whatever old libraries
| you might need. http://people.debian.org/~walters/chroot.html explains
| how. It's also mentioned in the quick reference if people.d.o is still
| down when you get this.
Before I go off and do this, it occurs to me that running an X server
in chroot might be problematic. Intuition suggests that if the X
server is running chrooted, then all of the apps that are started by
the server (and indirectly by the window manager, etc.) are going to
be running in that chroot environment.
Is my intuition mistaken?
Be seeing you,
