Before you run pure-ftpd, type ps or top to see if it is already running.
My guess is that you started it twice.  I don't know how to stop it except 
by killing the process number, or kill `pidof pure-ftpd`.

You probably are told to go to a non-javascript page.  Lynx has no 
javascript.

ldd links-0.95 will tell you if you have the required libraries (libc.so.6 
is glibc)

links 0.95 and 0.98 use the same links.cfg
If you install links2 package it will overwrite that cfg with one from 
links2 and then links 0.95 will complain of unknown options but still 
work.

tar -ztvf filename.tgz
lists where all the files went from the package.

Remove them all with rm but you need to be careful not to remove files 
that are used by other packages.  Is there an installpkg and removepkg for 
Slackware 4.0?  This keeps a list of files used by all packages and 
removes only unused ones.
