Help I deleted GLIBC :-(

Oh dear

I "accidentally" deleted GLIBC from PKGTOOL in Slackware. I was planning to reinstall it from CD as the Open Office installation was giving me GLIBC errors. But then when I deleted it I was not able to do ANYTHING (ls, pkgtool, startx etc etc etc x 1000).

i could do with some help on how to fix this as its taken me ages to get my system just as I want it, and I really don't have the heart to start over again.

Thanks

You can bootup your machine using the Slackware Installation CD 1/2
and cd the directory where glibc is
and installpkg from there. and reboot
