Uneasy about it, but I'm pleased to report that a total 7.2 CD
reinstall from scratch and the necessary post-install replacements
for the inadequate install effort reflected in exports, fstab,
HOSTNAME, hosts, lilo.conf, rc.local, resolv.conf, hosts.lpd and
wine.conf (I have all this standardised as two scripts on an ext2
floppy, separated by a reboot) did not reproduce the problem.
