[ale] No X still?

[Nomad the Wanderer]

I removed the libc5, re-installed all the updates and it's now working...

The problem I have is that Quake2 needs that libc.  Is there any way to get
quake2 to use the glibc instead?  I have the same problem with Netscape.

Thus spake Charles William Binko (cwb at mindspring.com):
