My apologies then... Actually, this is how Slackware-8.0 came (and slackware-current AFAIK still comes). Apparently I must've missed the transition, and so has Patrick Volkerding. Also I'm sorry for bringing up the MODVERSIONS issue. If I had known what flamewar it would trigger, I'd never have raised the topic. *sigh* Now let's see what's to be found in glibc-2.2.5.tar.gz. :) -Tomas -- "hello it's not like i read my mail so that you have where to offer to sell me a giant turnip or anything else thankyou." -tomas szepe
