Mike, we are blood brothers. We've traveled the same road, baby. The karmic
forces are passing between us.

Boot from disk....
Push Options button....
...tell it fresh install and zap the whole bloody lot.
Push Configure....
...turn off everything
...add the Core
...add just the internet tools (has StuffIt)

...life will be better...

...on to the atomic power plant....
