I think *replacing* the 1.1.1 distribution with 1.1.2 is a bit
premature, Barbara.  There are some possibile incompatibilites between
the libc provided with 1.1.2 and 1.1.1.  In particular, programs
compiled with the old libc may not work with the new one, including
all of the linux-athena distribution!

I think it would behoove everyone to provide, for now, both
distributions until we decide to move to the newer libc, or discuover
that we don't need to recompile all our athena code.
