Re(2): [cobalt-users] RPM Installation of glibc

[steve@xxxxxxx (Steve Davis)]

Alright Jeff,

I did what this email pointed out and the unistallers are in the right place,
which is about the only indication the packages were delivered properly.

However, when I go to install OpenShop-QCommerce-1.01.pkg,... nothing. No
uninstallers, no openshop directories or files. Nada.

My question here is, should I install the glibc-2.0.7-9.mips.rpm I retrieved
from the OpenShop site, on top of the kernel files you sent? Or will this kill
my server?

Remember, the whole point of this upgrade is to install QCommerce on my Raq1.

Thanks, Steve
