You guys are too awesome...good answers to what, IMHO, is a rather heretical
question. Wireless networking in Denali? Next thing ya know they'll be
talking on their cell phones while casting at Ship Creek (yes, I've seen
people do it too...but it just seems WRONG).
Anyways, I need a suggestion or at least a "you can't do that". Situation
is that I have a bunch of students in my Linux class for whom I'd like to
provide an application beyond the X games. I have a copy of Open Office
that was given out at one of the meetings. They're using the version of
Linux provided with the book, RH6. Unfortunately when you try to install
OpenOffice on that system you get a message stating that you need
GLIBC_2.1.3 or better. RedHat's web site has GLIBC_2.2.2-10, which should
be better, but version 6's rpm refuses to install it, claiming that it can
only be used with stuff with version numbers less than or equal to 3 (which
was a surprise, since it's actually the release number that's greater than
3, but who am I to argue with binary code?). Next thought of mine was to
upgrade rpm, but that immediately requires the upgrade of three other
services, which is getting into the "too difficult for a beginning class"
stage. RedHat's site keeps failing out of a search for older versions of
glibc with a Proxy Server error. I'm actually leaning toward, next week,
having them just upgrade RedHat to a later version, then install OpenOffice,
but if anybody knows where to get a glibc that'll work I might not go to
that much trouble.
