Perhaps this is why it complained about libc being older than 2.2?


On this computer Xvesa works so I don't need an X server or xinit.

Presumably I would need to replace all the libraries in your x-libs 
package (the ones used by Opera and also libXaw which is needed by 
xpaint), and any additional libraries used by icewm, plus get BL2 icewm 
and SW71 rxvt.

Maybe I will try SW Flash in BL2 first - after copying the two files to 
the plugins directory, what else would I need to do in Opera?
Do I need some motif library?  I have Opera 7.23.

Does Flash play movies with sounds?  Would I just install the sound 
modules and an sb card and Flash?

These kids like loud noises.  Two of them were playing with my two kitchen 
timers while waiting their turns to type.
