From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Tethys Date: Wed, 20 May 1998 16:17:16 +0000 Subject: Upgrade from RH4.2? Message-Id: List-Id: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit To: ultralinux@vger.kernel.org It is possible to upgrade from RedHat 4.2 to UltraPenguin? I need to use my machine on a day to day basis for work, and don't want to risk a complete reinstall. However, some things about RH4.2 are proving to be a real problem -- the lack of a working gdb springs to mind. I've recompiled from source, too, but that still doesn't fix it. There are other problems too (e.g., buggy X server that I can't debug due to 1. lack of time and 2. lack of a debugger!) Will the change from libc5 to glibc2 be enough to make an upgrade more hassle than it's worth? It's an SS20/HyperSparc with dual CG6 framebuffers. I'll probably wait for ultrapenguin-devel to become ultrapenguin-current, first (assuming it doesn't take too long!).
