his contribution, which he would like to call the <a href="http://www.murphyslantech.de/linux/glibc-howto/glibcinstall.docbook" target="_top">Glibc mini-HOWTO</a>. It's not complete yet: Kai still

needs to fine tune this document to be compliant with the newer versions of <span class="application">glibc</span>, but comments on the document are welcome.</span></li>
