If so, how? Yes, it's annoying, linux-base-6.1 is now badly out of date - can someone update it please? My solution was to update via rpm. Because of "circular dependencies" the way to update is using the --nodeps option initially e.g. rpm -Uv --nodeps --ignoreos --ignorearch --root /compat/linux glibc-2.2.3-11.i386.rpm To find the necessary dependencies, firt run without the --nodeps option, and it will tell you which files it depends on. Make sure you install all the dependencies as well, and you'll end up with a nicely updated system! Once you've updated the "base" system (e.g. the glibc/libc's, etc.) don't use the --nodeps option. rpm is in the ports collection if you haven't already got it installed. John.
