[CentOS] linuxthreads & Printers in Centos5...

Dear All,

Firstly, many thanks for the hard work put in by the development team :)

Now I have a couple of problems, any help welcome:

1) Some of our software needs linuxthreads (i.e. InsightII) but it's closed 
source and the writers (Accelrys) are unlikely to respin the code as they 
want us to move to a different program.

Is there any way of installing another set of glibc libs on centos 5, to allow 
an old, broken, but uselful program to run?


2) As part of my setup script for centos 4, I add a large list of printers to 
each workstation by using  
system-config-printer-tui --Ximport < settings.xml
(on my master machine I create the list with system-config-printer-tui 
--Xexport > settings.xml )

Is there any easy way of automatically adding 15 printers to Centos 5 ?

My thanks for your time,

Jake
