Make sure you have at least 2.4.19-pa17, otherwise fcntl() will break with the new glibc and you won't be able to use e.g. apt. This was needed to fix some problems with lfs on hppa. Unfortunately it cannot be done in a completely backwards compatible manner. 32-bit kernels are not affected. randolph -- Randolph Chung Debian GNU/Linux Developer, hppa/ia64 ports http://www.tausq.org/
