Ha.  No, no, not a knacker HD. It's a brand new SATA 750GB HD. I am 
installing
"everything" for fun and then backtracking out any conflicts.  What I 
found is very
interesting - LOTS of pitfalls and traps. Sorta like wading into a 
dungeon and dragons
game. (Remember that old text-based-only game?)

Anyway, people are wondering why I am doing this and not staying into 
the normal
installation procedure (what is a normal installation procedure anyway), 
so here I
am, reporting what I find!  I guess that is my (perhaps idiotic) 
contribution to this
group, but here it is.

I am still stuck on that system-config-services thing - it is truly 
screwed.  I wonder what
caused it!  No error messages anywhere!  It is a python script - wonder 
if I can do an
strace on it. Hmm.... work in progress I guess.

What I have done is to whittle away this log message list down to a few 
outstanding
error messages mostly by disabling certain services and this is what I 
have left:
