The following will give you a list of all the files 
installed by the pkg
--------------------
tar -ztvf tcpip2.tgz 
--------------------

No, but you could take the above file list and run
it through rm.  However, you would need to cut out 
the 48 characters that precede the actual filename.
Something like this should work:
-----------------------------------------------
cd /
rm `tar -ztvf /path/to/tcpip2.tgz | cut -c48- `
-----------------------------------------------
WARNING:  I have not tested this, so it might need
some tweaking (eg 48 might not be the right number
for the cut).  I suggest you do this first:
-----------------------------------------
tar -ztvf /path/to/tcpip2.tgz | cut -c48- 
-----------------------------------------
and check that it is outputting clean filenames.
Then cd / and run it inside the rm `    `   
Note: those wee marks are both `  (not ').

BL3 uses kernels and modules from Slackware 7.1.

Packages need to match libraries, not kernels.
BL3 (libc5) uses packages from Slackware 4.0 (libc5).
Slackware 3 also has libc5 packages (but the ones in 
Slackware 4.0 are more up-to-date).
