I noticed the very small size difference between DSL's libc6 files and the ones from Sarge too.  I will revisit some of the other apps that were unable to run for me on DSL such as BOINC (it was spitting out a lot of strange errors when I tried it a couple weeks ago).  And perhaps some other newer debs or source compiles may work that didn't before.  Libc6-dev may well be needed for the compiling.

I was only able to test drive libc6 for about 30 minutes before going to work but I did not see the first error with any apps/commands or while watching flash videos the whole time.  I will play with this more when I get home tonight but hopefully it will just work as it seems to.

EDIT:  I am sure compiling against Sarge's libc6 will be the real test.

So how do you install the deb file?  I unpacked it, and get two files: control.tar.gz  and control.tar.gz   What now? Thanks.

jpeters: read jason's post to install it or convert it

Jason W: nice work on figuring that out!
I think most of us had the suspicion that it was glibc but never actually tried to install it though.
I wonder if this is the cause of various other problems...

If doing this doesn't break currently working things, then maybe it should be replaced in the base.  If not, maybe doing something like LD_LIBRARY_PATH, etc. for the browser would be fine.

I tried "dpkg ..... " and  got no packages available.

I ran deb2dsl which created a dsl extension from the deb package (if that is the way to do it?) , but FF still crashed with flash 9.

Edit: Okay...flash 9 is running, but without sound (it needed alsa4 to stop  crashing). I'll keep experimenting.
