OK. Just picking a random reply so this is not just for Peter K.
This opened a HUGE can of worms. I made CERTAIN I have backups of
things like /home and multiple backups of my .mozilla directory. After
that, I booted the USB stick thingy. It's the sysrescue one. Anyway.

Howdy,
Well, it appears we got the init thingy working. I'm about ready to
