I tried to switch from a (working!) linux_base 7.1 to 7.3 or 8 and I had no luck :-/ After I installed 7.3 several linux-programs couldn't find some shared libraries, eg. bash missed a libtermcap.so.2 and mozilla missed libpthread.so.0 (both are symlinks with 7.1). After creating the links bash worked but mozilla had further problems (wrong X libraries). With linux_base-8 mozilla also had problems with the X libraries. At that point I reverted to my working 7.1. Then its also disturbing that linux_base-8 need about 30M more diskspace. I wonder why. I am using (an old) 4-STABLE and I installed the linux_base packages. Gunther
