Tsk, tsk. Kids these days. You are *sooo* lucky. We had to program by
moving magnets back and forth over the floppy disk.
You had floppys? I thought it was done with a pencil and this long strip of paper... :)

Then you should perhaps have one.
OK, I do now. I got a gnome startup (higher resolution than before). Right clicked and asked for a new window to test browsing and it seemed to keep starting things. I switched over to console F1 and I have a bunch of messages:
- nautilus: relocation error: /usr/lib/libpangoft2-1.0.so.0: undefined
symbol: FT_Set_Hint_Flags
- FAMOpen failed, FAMErrno=0
- FAMOpen failed, FAMErrno=0
- FAMOpen failed, FAMErrno=0
- FAMOpen failed, FAMErrno=0
No luck going back to F7 however.

Aha! That's interesting, don't you think?
I think most of what I'm running into as interesting. Informative is another matter :D .
Can you send the whole log? (as attachment or inline)
There might be yet another subtle hint in there somewhere.
You want me to post the config and the log to the list? Or should I send via private email? Seems kinda big to send copies everywhere.
