Well I went through the entire install again, after which, my machine 
gets part way through the install, then begins an endless screen dump of 
too-fast-to-read text.

Several forced restarts later, it finally agrees to start up, tells me 
not to log in as root, even when I haven't (there never was a login 
prompt) and seems to be working sort of OK, except that it can't find vi, 
can't find man and in general is content to change and list directories 
and not much else.

When I list the root folder, there is a man directory inside. But when I 
open it, there are only a couple of files. I seem to recall there ought 
to be a lot more in there?!?
