It's in the compat20 distribution. There's no longer a libgcc.so supposed to be around, so watch out to _not_ drop it into /usr/lib. Instead, use /usr/lib/compat/, and run ldconfig on it. > 2.

I'm not sure, but there's one HP drive that is known to not work with tagged commands. However, the symptoms for this are usually that the drive is recognized, but the first attempt to use it crashes with ``Overlapped commands attempted''. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
