   Before I begin I would like to have one point clarified. Toward the bottom
of the HOWTO I read,

"Note:  there are some other packages that might need to be upgraded
 	(downgraded, actually) while you're here; I'm not even going to
 	attempt to list them, but for example, if you had already upgraded
 	bash with the package from the newer Slackware version, you probably
 	need to do the same thing as above with the a/bash-*.tgz package on
 	the cdrom."

   Careful reading of this suggests it is applicable to someone who borks
glibc during a distribution upgrade, not to a working 14.0 which needs to
have 14.0 glibc restored. Is this correct?
