While I'd like to get to the root (ha! my first -nix humor) of the lockup, I'm gonna need to have /usr back if at all possible. Now I understand I'm supposed to include some log files and such, but at this point I could spend a few evenings just figuring out how to get this info over to my Win98 machine to include it in this message, so please forgive me . . .
