Well, all my problems actually  started when I tried to build x.org's X11R7.  
Using their directions to lndir a /usr/src/build dir to the /usr/src/xc dir, 
it configured ok from the build dir, and was the last item to ever 
successfully configure on that box.  The make bailed out halfway thru the 
make, so it shouldn't have effected anything but 100 megs of disk space.  
But, after it bailed out, all my gtk stuff was dead, gimp, gnorpm, gftp, 
grip, mozilla-1.6, you name it in the gtk camp and it was toast.

Unforch, I don't have the lists archive on this machine.  Is there a link I 
can follow with this older version of mozilla on this 7.3 machine?

I have the module-init-tools problem sorted for 2.6, also util-linux is now 
2.12f.  Modules are loading now, but networking isn't working, including 
samba.  And ATM I can't login, it just loops to the login prompt.  Regardless 
of the kernel booted.
