I trashed my laptop two days ago (well, twice in the same day ;)), so had
the chance to use the 1001 ISO (which is great, btw [ XFS! ] :)).  The
first thing I did was 'scribe update', then 'cast -r -c glibc' to get
glibc 2.3.1, then 'cast -r -c gcc' to have the patch work for it (no
hitches when I did this, went flawlessly), then a 'sorcery rebuild' to
rebuild all the binary packages that came with the ISO.  I then proceeded
to install my system, all using glibc 2.3.1 and the patched gcc 3.2, I am
now running WindowMaker and was playing FreeCraft (after my fixes ;)) in
class^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^Haround today just to make sure all is well.

Since my clean install had no problems, perhaps something is being broken
during all of these updates/usage?  Did everyone do a 'cast --fix' before
trying this, to make sure everything is koshur on their systems?  That
_may_ keep things from breaking on upgrades like this, but no guarantees.

I had two other machines update to glibc 2.3.1/gcc, one lost my gcc ( Bug
# 1469 ), while the other wouldn't compile gcc for a while, then after a
'cast --fix' and some voodoo, went flawlessly.  They are both doing a
'sorcery rebuild' right now to have everything take advantage of the new
glibcidness.
