Thanks Norman,

I hate to admit this but I blew that install away accidentally (the sdX 
order changed during a reboot and I slayed it with dd - taught me to do 
`mount | grep sd` before I reuse a dd cut and paste). I tried to 
recreate the problem, but wasn't able to get it to do it again :(. The 
good news is - stuff's working. I installed Falkon from cproc and it works!

Not to worry though, your tips didn't fall on deaf ears. I appreciate 
the insight into troubleshooting you provided here. Particularly the vim 
in inspect bits. I also appreciated your note about adding myself to the 
depot menu, definitely not what I need.
