Actually it is "disable lqr" and "deny lqr" :)  
But thanks for the hint.  It seems to have me up and running now.

I have to say that the new sysinstall is much more robust and re-entrant now.
It no longer hangs and is much smarter if you retry an operation again.  A
big improvement over the 2.0.5 and 2.1R versions.

Thanks again
