<div style="direction: ltr;font-family: Tahoma;color: #000000;font-size: 10pt;">Hi,<br>
<br>
Thank you for your quick reply Massimo. I am just experimenting, I didn't had any specific tool in mind. However, I can see inside packages list that many tools are already installed. I can limit my curiosity in those for the time. So it's very fine!<br>
<br>
In addition, if I want to upgrade any of the existing tools I think that it gonna be smooth. Right?<br>
<br>
By the way, how am I installing the filesystem provided in your first link? I suppose that I have to delete my existing one, and follow the same steps again for installing using the downloaded filesystem.<br>
<br>
And, last thing, I cannot find any link for downloading this. Sorry I feel embarrassed.<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
Vag<br>

</div>
<div>Of course they don't have the netkit's kernel specific patches, but I could use, for all of my networking scenarios, those images with no problem.

<div bgcolor="#FFFFFF"><tt>Hi,<br>
<br>
depending on the package you are willing to install, there may be a high number of dependencies that cause a major upgrade of the filesystem image. And the upgrade may fail because of some other "chicken-and-egg" conflicts in package releases.<br>
<br>
Which package(s) are you interested in updating/installing?<br>
<br>
In the meantime, you may want to consider that a very active Netkit user has independently updated the filesystem image build scripts and made them available here:
<a href="https://github.com/kartoch/netkit-uml-filesystem" target="_blank">https://github.com/kartoch/netkit-uml-filesystem</a>. Depending on your needs, rebuilding the image from scratch using this system may be a way to go.<br>

Massimo<br>

<br>
I recently installed netkit on my ubuntu 12.04 machine. I am able to connect to the internet using the tap interface. However, I cannot make update or to install any programs. It says that I need lib6 and other packages, but when I try to install any package,
it it continually fails to do so.<br>
<br>
Have you any idea?<br>
Thanks, vag<br>
