OK thanks again Ken, and thanks also to Pierre.
I managed to get around this oddity by cleaning up the gcc sources and
restarting from 5.5 again. I did this just to get a log of the whole
process, as I hadn't created one initially. But somehow, for some
unknown reason, it worked this time! Maybe because I was logged in as
root...? I hope that won't present permissions problems further on down
the track!
Anyway thanks again for your help guys, and Merry Christmas! (or
whatever other holiday you may celebrate at this time of year)

OK thanks for the tip. I might try installing on an old PC later...I
thought about doing that from the get go but I'm talking about a 10 yr old
piece of crap that hasn't even been turned on in that long...so god only
knows if it WILL turn on or what I may have to do to bring it back to life.
But it may be worth trying!
Hmm, if it is that old then sticking to the virtual machine will
probably be faster (machines of that age tended to have slow memory
speeds, and perhaps slow disk i/o, e.g. SATA-1).
