tlug: TL2.0J and Xfree86 3.3.3



Hi,

I have just installed TL2.0J onto my machine and I'm on my way of
upgrading X to XFree86 3.3.3 with binaries that I've got from the
XFree86.org website.

When I did "preinst.sh" it gives me a message like 

"you appear to have an ELF system
Make sure you are installing the 'Linux-ix86' binary dist 
and *not* the 'Linux-ix86-glibc' binary dist
You are strongly advised to backup <blah> <snip>......"


I thought TL2.0J has glibc support? Should I really be installing the 
glibc version or should I listen to what the message says and install
the libc one? If I'm installing the libc one, then what is the glibc version
for?

Thanks.

regards,
Chiew
