I can't find a libnss_dns or libresolv for libc5.  Do they exist?

To use the glibc versions found in SW4.0 you will first need to add 
libc.so.6 (symlinked to the glibc libc-2.0.7.so from SW4.0) and 
ld-linux.so.2 (symlinked to the SW4.0 ld-linux, whatever it is called). 
These total under 2MB.

If you use the Slackware 8.1 glibc instead, you can later add Opera.

MANIFEST.gz lists all the files and their sizes and package locations.

tar -ztvf packagename.tgz lists what is in a package, which you can then 
remove manually.  My 2.8.5 lynx has a lot of stuff you don't need in it. 
2.8.6 I think has just the basics - the executable and three smaller 
files.

It gets bigger if you need glibc and ld-linux too.

I could not find them either, for libc5.  Never looked before.


Instead of installing lynx on your computer, for $1 you can get a BSD 
shell account at sdf.lonestar.org and use lynx and links2 there to access 
your yahoo mail.  Or use sdf directly for mail with mutt. For another $35 
one-time fee you get more space, and more programs.  You have a month free 
while you are waiting for your $1 to arrive.

There is no spam filter at sdf.
