I think this is addressed to my attempts to upgrade libc6, but I apologize
that I don't know enough about linux to understand most of it.  Or maybe
any of it.  I have never created an image or used a rescue disk.  I think
I can unpack a library and move it to two directories but not to an image.
And why do I need a ppp package?  Thanks for trying to help.
