Debian Lenny based installation

[daniel_rodriguez]

Hi everyone,
having new hardware is what we all want, right? But what happens when the distro of your choice doesn't support it, that was my first problem. Originally tried with Etch, but kernel version doesn't like the hardware I've got, so next came Lenny.
And here I'am, making a clean and freh install following error appears whe trying to install some packages.

Internal Error, Could not perform immediate configuration (2) on libc6

Any clue will be gratefully appreciated.

I'd try Ubuntu then, it should support newer hardware as well.

Also, there are no httpd binary in lenny, so setup2 fails on line 707.

Had to manually change httpd to apache2.

After that I got the error:
gcc -I. -I.. -I../include -DOPENSSL_THREADS -D_REENTRANT -DDSO_DLFCN -DHAVE_DLFCN_H -DOPENSSL_NO_KRB5 -DL_ENDIAN -DTERMIO -O3 -fomit-frame-pointer -m486 -Wall -DSHA1_ASM -DMD5_ASM -DRMD160_ASM -c -o cryptlib.o cryptlib.c
cc1: error: unrecognized command line option "-m486"

It is a deprecated option....
The proper one to use is -mtune=i486. I am going to figure out how to fix the build process tomorrow.
