FC4 Crached / Hached or what it is, --- please help

[Anil Kumar Sharma]

Thanks Jeff, and a ton of that ... may be lots more ...
I have recovered from the crash or whatever it was ...
I could only partly follow ur guidance bcoz "rpm -Va" was too much to
handle. Problem was manpages not opening in rescue mode, so I gave up that
route.
What worked was "reinstall libpcre, libacl and db4" although reinstall also
didn't go smoothly, I had to chroot-exit, ctrl-c,  ctrl+alt+del and reset
(hardware) quite a few times and finally after 3-4 reboots I am writing this
in Mozilla-Firefox.
There are new questions now, but I will post them on list - this is purely
for thanking you to have helped  solve this problem.
Thanks Jeff.
