    upgrade problem with hd install

    Installed Knoppix over the weekend and found the new
    installer to be a vast improvement over the old one.
    After setting up the pppoe, first thing I wanted to do
    was apt-get some debs, but a lot of the packages wanted
    libc6-2.3.2-1 (in unstable) and the Knoppix has 2.3.1-16.
    Now, is it feasible to upgrade libc6 to the unstable
    version or am I courting disaster for the likes of
    nano and epiphany (and xscreensaver-4.12, which has a
    cool "xmatrix -small -crack" feature).
    Has anyone had the same problem and found a solution?

    I have read post in the Debian Users mailing list of problems with libc6 but I have not had any so it's up to you. BTW my install shows libc6-2.3.2-4 available in unstable:
    Code:
    [05:04 PM Tue Sep 02: stephen @ ~]
    >$ apt-cache policy libc6
    libc6:
      Installed: 2.3.2-4
      Candidate: 2.3.2-4
      Version Table:
     *** 2.3.2-4 0
            500 http://ftp.de.debian.org unstable/main Packages
            100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
         2.3.1-16 0
            990 http://ftp.de.debian.org testing/main Packages
