Hi and thanks for the reply.

Well for a start, and to answer your comment, I know Error output
helps... and in fact it would, if I was getting any error output... ;-)

That said, I tried your suggestion, the output in the term window seemed
to show the db was being rebuild... but after a reboot, same thing
again... No way to see what are the RPMs I installed at start... It's
frustrating and seems I will have to reinstall again...........
