- This is really strange. I don't know where you got these binaries from
- that you say are broke. Are they from SLS? How does knowing this help
- people, if they don't know where and when you got your binaries.

- Sigh. Look you can do the same thing without all this rebooting malarkey.
-
- ln -sf /lib/libc.so.4.2 /lib/libc.so.4
-
- Look, you may mean well, but posting this kind of official sounding misinformation
- is more damaging than helpful.
