- Should have bought the update CD when they offered it earlier in the
- year.  It was updated for GLibC 2.

	I must have missed hearing about that..  That's good
news.

- I can give you a copy of the CD.  It still requires a valid license to
- install (I assume the old license number works?).

	I have a valid key from the previous edition..  How do
you want to go about getting a copy to me?  ftp the ISO to my
ftp server??  Put it on your ftp/web server??

- P.S.  Hmmm, does "compat-libs" from RHL6 not work under CL2
- (RHL7/RHEL2), CL3 (RHL8/9/FC1/RHEL3) or CL4 (FC2/3/RHEL4)?

	I've been playing with a SUSE derived compatibility
environment, and it lacks the needed loader and libraries..  

	I was looking for a distribution to pull the appropriate
files off of to place in the compatibility environment.

	Thanks,
		Eric
