[Cialug] HELP! I removed libc6!

[Renegade Muskrat]

I just checked the dpkg man page, and it does have a --root argument. 
It works as one might expect: --root=<path to chroot to>

 >rpm has an argument called --root to point it to a different root for 

 >situations like this. If dpkg can do that also, boot from a debian cd 

 >and
 >mount your file systems under /mnt and run dpkg -i libc6 --root /mnt
