I downloaded the  glibc-devel-2.5-3.i386.rpm glibc-2.5-3.i686.rpm 
         glibc-headers-2.5-3.i386.rpm glibc-common-2.5-3.i386.rpm 
versions, mounted my development installation using my FC6 installation, 
chrooted /mnt/hdb4 in a gui terminal as root. Changed to the /root 
directory in the chrooted development installation. I then copied the 
files over from the user directory where the files were downloaded and 
then copied them to /mnt/hdb4/root in another root terminal.
Then in the chrooted environment and in the /root directory, I ran rpm 
-Uvh --oldpackage *.rpm

I guess the new package will be awhile in coming. I know the package is 
extremely complex, so I'll keep the old one instead of patching and 
recompiling.

Oh well, it's rawhide!

Not suprisingly, we also have a couple of money-saving ideas that we submit
to the Pentagon free of charge:

	(a) Don't kill anybody.
	(b) Don't build things that do.
	(c) And don't pay other people to kill anybody.

We expect annual savings to be in the billions.
