Accidentally removed glibc on slackware

[drazenmd]

Hi, I need help with my Linux Slackware 9.1!

I accidentally removed glibc and now my system is useless. I can't login or
do anything else. When my system boots I get messages like this:

INIT:no cannot execute "sbin/agetty"
INIT:no cannot execute "command/svscanboot"
INIT:no more processes left in this runlevel

I have two SCSI disk, when I try with linux rescue I get message "Can't mount root".
I downloaded slack live cd and now I am able to see my partitions but don't know how to fix this
problem.

Thank you!

If you have your original installation disk - you can cd into the directory that has the package you want: glibc : and issue the command

installpkg -reinstall glibc*tgz --root /mnt/whatever

It should replace all the files back to their original state. whatever refers to whereever you mounted your root directory

Depending on which file you deleted - there are two glibc locations on the installation disk:

/slackware/a/glibc

or

/slackware/l/glibc

Whoops, didn't realize you posted over on Linux Questions - You are bound to find quite a few people over there.
