Hi,
In my search for why kernel 2.2.13's kmod
wasn't working for me, while 2.2.5's is working,
I began to think I needed the latest glibc
for the threads to work.
No, this has nothing with glibc to do.

I have the original suse6.0, with the original glibc.
Suse 6.1 has a newer glibc version?
No, SuSE Linux 6.2 has with glibc 2.1.1 a newer glibc version,
not SuSE Linux 6.1.
...
Is it possible for me to download the latest
glibc rpm and just rpm -U it, without disrupting
my older system?
No, there are binaries which will not work with the
new glibc. You need to recompile some libaries and
binaries. Don't ask me yet which. It is much easier
to update to SuSE Linux 6.2.

Linux is like a Vorlon.  It is incredibly powerful, gives terse,
cryptic answers and has a lot of things going on in the background.
