	On the present hypothesis, the trouble is in the tarball. (Fwiw, 
one reason I think it may be is that my use of scp is still bothersome, 
with a variety of false starts -- but always seems to accomplish what I 
want, eventually.)

	Then what about this? Given one acceptable mass of tweaks from 
scratch to a fresh install, why not just scp all of /home/btth from that 
machine to another fresh install on the next one? Would it even require 
becoming root, and doing all the chowning, untarring, etc.?

	It might slow both machines down substantially for quite a while; 
but I (and, doubtless, most others with the problem) could simply spend 
that while getting by with machine #3. And the next stage, after 
reinstalling F7 for the third time, need tie up only #2 and #3, with #1 
-- the main machine -- free as usual. And stable.

	Incidentally, what do upgrades, as opposed to fresh installs, do 
to symlinks??
