I'm not using anybodies distribution of zdebian, I'm just running a debootstrap I set up myself. It ran great for years, but lately glibc refuses to update because of my 2.4.18 kernel. 2.6 on 5500 will probably never happen until the mythological GPL colle sd/mmc driver unmythologicals itself. Comments?
 What would happen if I temporarily put a fake uname in my path to get glibc to upgrade? Would my system become unusable? Is there any hope of 2.6 on collie? This thing has become entirely unusable because of this glibc problem. What are the odds I could fake debian into thinking it has a current libc6? I'm running out of options. |

So Charlie, Did you have any luck when trying on collie?
I don't have the time now to try it myself, but I don't miss your comments. Greets. |

Nothing working yet. It seems to flash the kernel ok but I've tried all the different .jffs2 files renamed initrd.bin and nothing seemed to work properly. mail and charging light only came on for a minute or so, not like a proper flash. May have another go this weekend and will let you know if I get anywhere. |
