	As posted in the thread on X not starting, I finally threw in the 
towel. I salvaged most of my home directory by scp to another LAN 
machine; did a fresh install of F8 onto the linux drive; copied back the /
etc/grub.conf I had had before; made sure I could still boot to XP; ran 
yum update; and copied back the salvaged files.

	The machine now runs F8 (and, rarely, XP) just as before. My 
copious thanks to all those who helped. 

	I will try an upgrade again; but I'll try to wait for the 
anaconda bug to get stomped, and use a respin -- since my suspicion is 
that it was some combination of that, the new monitor, and the dual-boot 
that I tripped over.

	Meanwhile, with both machines behind a KVM switch, I'm having the 
curious experience of changing at the push of a button between two 
machines which are nearly identical except for the OS -- all the same 
apps (other than Firefox 2 vs. 3) on all the same workspaces ...
