Ok, I tried exactly what you suggested (above). I got

Panic switch: PC is at 0x37c2
Stopped at      _Debugger+0x6:	unlk  a6
db> ps
PID       PPID       PGRP       UID   S   FLAGS   COMMAND   WAIT
0          -1          0         0    3 0X20204    swapper   scsipi_
db> t

a whole lot of stuff, ending with:

kernel program counter = 0x13022a
kernel: MMU fault trap
caught exception in ddb
_main() + 39c
_main() + 39c
db>


(at this point it froze & I couldn't type "c")

Yes, as far as I can see, everything is there, and I never removed anything.
Apparently it never shows the name of the file it can't find, because the
ones before & after the message are both there.

No. Should I? The Installer works fine - I have installed all the sets with
no trouble.

Thanks,
