Ken/Rob,

  Yup. Disk 2 is the live Slackware/rescue disk. Worked like a charm since I
knew which partitions were /usr and /usr/local.

  Removed the wayward libc.so.* and life is once again back on track. I
think. Someone's removed a few spikes, however, and there are deteriorating
ties, so the track is neither stable nor secure. However, the train of live
chugs on, blowing cinders and hot ashes to the rear. Long string of cars
with heavy freight being towed along so it's always an interesting journey.
