Hrrm---other things installed---Grub, Blackbox----ptys perhaps?
Y'know, I'm really beginning to think, however, that it might have been, 
since the HD was bad, that something simply got corrupted--for example, I 
suddenly lost ping and had to reinstall iputil or whatever it's called.
(Was that Scott S. or Mike F. who mentioned the environment suspects.)

At any rate, tomorrow, hopefully, I'll pick up a new HD, slap it in, and 
start from square one. If nothing goes wrong, I'm going to put it down to 
the hard drive messing up the data, in some weird way.

Thanks again.

Thank you--we really were among the fortunate--even among our friends, 
though some have had to evacuate their apartments, we are the lucky. Thank you
