And I thank you for that. :)

I installed glibc-2.1.2 first, then installed glibc-2.0.7pre6 on top of
that. I didn't install anything else. I did not change `ld-linux.so.1'
to `ld-linux.so.2' in my specs file as the glibc-2.0.7pre6 README
advised.

^^^^^^^
How do I define it?

I ran the install from either the bootable cdrom (disk 1 from Slack 4 -
the one that prompts you to type setup to begin an install) or, from
disk 2, which contains the "fully installed ready-to-run Linux system
from a bootable cdrom" version.

I'll trade you your pine tar problem for my problem. :)
Thanks for the help,
