My analysis of my problem was wrong. After _finally_ getting a working
rescue and root disk (floppy I/O errors, etc) I discovered that my
problem was not a bad login package installation, or in fact any bad
package installation; it is in fact the /lib/ld-2.0.7.so contained in
libc6.1_2.0.7r-5.deb.
Whatever I try to run with /lib/ld-2.0.7.so in place gives me an
"illegal instruction" error. Changing _only_ the /lib/ld-linux.so.2
symlink to point to ld-2.0.6.so fixes everything...
Apparently I'm the only one having this problem, right? WHY?! HELP! :-)
