glibc update

[samuel]

i can imagine you won't be pleased with this answer. but prolly the
fastest way is to pull the alpha iso and do a reinstall. I'm afraid
our upgrade guide for 2.4 to 2.6 is a bit out of date and *COMPLETELY*
untested for quite a while now.
Not to say i no longer find it back :)
