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.
