Thanks you for your detailed reply. Since I wrote, I resolved
(although not yet solved) the problem. I had a free partition on
my disk, which I made bootable, and installed (from scratch) the
new RedHat 5.2. This came up with no real problems. Then I began
moving some of the stuff from the old partition to the
new. Everything works. When things settle down, and I've got
everything from the old slice that I need, I will just wipe it
out, and free it up.

<P><STRONG>
The reference to <tt>libc.so.5.4.33</tt> was due to a reference on another
page to problems with Netscape.

Thanks again

Glad you got it working.
If you have the disk space (on a second drive or extra
partition) you could do a fresh installation of
<A HREF="http://www.redhat.com/">Red Hat</A> 6.0 and then selectively
migrate your configuration and data files from your old filesystems.
It's sort of a slow laborious way to do upgrades, but it's one that works
for me.
