Hello *,

I am playing for severall years now with a debian distro (since about 2000).

I unfortunately discover this GoboLinux lately 2 weeks ago and install it last week. So many use to do to change and a lot
to learn ;-).

At a first glance, I so took an old ide disk which I split in 2 slices: a swap and a root, to install release 013 of
GoboLinux install CD.

All seems to works fine (just have to bypass OpenOffice install which seems to be broken on my CD): so time to play to learn .

I first install Freshen, cool ;-)

Then run Freshen which learn me that to update GLibc I need a newer kernel. Ok

On wiki page I find:
# Compile Linux

Compile: Found recipe for Linux

         which is more recent than the one you have installed.
         Compilation may fail, upgrade ('InstallPackage Compile') is recommended.
