VMware shouldnt be an issue here.  I mentioned it in the off chance it affects 
performance
enough to puke dpkg or something.  Or that I need to use --smallmem (which I 
tried and same
error) or some other option to take into consideration that it runs like a 
pentium 90 with 48M,
instead of my 400 with 384M.

The machine is up and running, just fine.  its when I go to Upgrade libc that 
this happens.
I need to upgrade libc so I can use the current gcc/binutils/whatever to do 
devel/testing.
This just happened to be the first thing I did after a perfectly successful 
install.
Dpkg installs packages that do not depend on this version of libc just fine 
(wget, screen,
and a few others).
