Allen, Erik, Colin, Steve and anyone else I have forgotten.

Indeed, I *do* believe that the files I DL'ed somehow got corrupted, as
I re-downloaded the binaries last evening and re-started from scratch. 
I used the Generic-22 Kernel and have now succesfully managed to boot
into both single and multi-user mode.

It recognizes both my Apple Adjustable Keyboard and my Microspeed
3-button mouse without error.  Amazing.......I am sure that I will have
more questions soon (probably later today <g>) but until then, thank you
all very much.
