By letting the machine reboot, I lost control of the box and the situation became untenable. Since I am reduced now to the floppy route, I will start anew rather than try to completely asses what damage has been wrought. You live, you learn. Fortunately this is a more of a toy for me and hardly in a production environment. 4.0-RELEASE is getting laid down now... I can CVSUP overnight (8 hour download over a 56K connection) and then go STABLE from there.
