+	</div>
+	<p><strong>3.2 </strong>Preparations</p>
+	<p>First, change the system profile, corresponding to the C library you are switching to:</p>
+	<code>(root)# glacier-mkprofile -u <i>SYSTEM_PROFILE</i></code>
+	<p>Next, update the local package database:</p>
+	<code>(root)# glacier-update-pkgdb</code>
+	<p>Finally, change branches on / and pull in the new files:</p>
+	<code>(user)$ cd /</code>
+	<p></p>

+	<p></p>
+	<code>(root)# git pull</code>
