Hi Anders, I am a little confused about that procedure... can you explain it a little more... glibc.cpio ... what is that? thank you...

Next time take more care before trying to upgrade the glibc. It is probably the most difficult thing to get right of all the things you can do with a linux system.

A kernel upgrade is a piece of cake by comparison.

My System Admin said the same thing after I broke my 8.0 system installing the glibc-2.2.5-177 patch from SuSE via YOU on my 8.0 box. The machine hung -- and he had to take it down to "Single User" and then force the "old" glibc-2.2.5-158 rpm... After the machine was stable again, I down loaded the new security rpm (not the patch) and installed it (again in single user mode) Reason: so many things are dynamically linked to glibc--- __________________________________________________________________ McAfee VirusScan Online from the Netscape Network.
