        No way. I've pretty much got my Powerbook back to "normal."
        I'm not about to wipe everything and repartition.

        The replacement disk is a Toshiba rather than an IBM Travelstar
        if that matters.

        By the way, during the "Developer Workstation" package install,
        I got several "no such file or directory" message complaing
        about things like "mv" missing. My guesses are that:

        1. You see this only on the console while using the text
           installer (which I did).

        2. Some package install scripts needed basic stuff like "mv"
           and "mv" hadn't been installed yet.

        Unfortunately, I don't remember which package(s) complained.

        Yeah, sure; thought I did also reply to my "Terresoft
        installaion support" issue about it as well.
