Hi Rachel,
I installed the libc6 version without a glitch.
There is a "how-to" on the web-site, and it tells you that you need to
download a small C library first, but then follow the glibc installation
from CD002 - from within YaST. This worked fine for me, but you could also
install it as per the CD booklet instructions for Red-Hat.
Here's the URL to the relevant Support Database page:

HTH,
Mike.
