	After some further steps, posted here, I decided (and don't 
remember why) that the /usr/sbin/squid -z *had* done something or other 
-- and tried to go on from ther with the procedure detailed in Frank 
Cox's article. 

	That got me royally snarled. Finally I just did this : 
[root@Hbsk2 ~]# yum remove squid
	[...]
Running Transaction
  Erasing        : squid                                             
[1/1] 
warning: /etc/squid/squid.conf.default saved as /etc/squid/
squid.conf.default.rpmsave
warning: /etc/squid/squid.conf saved as /etc/squid/squid.conf.rpmsave

Removed: squid.i386 7:3.0.STABLE7-1.fc9
Complete!
[root@Hbsk2 ~]#

	Then I went back and changed what I could find to set browsers 
back to using privoxy. I couldn't find any option to set network proxy to 
none; so I made that privoxy, too, and gave a long list of things to 
connect directly to.

	I mean to start over from scratch -- after a long rest, so I can 
have forgotten my confusions, and maybe miss some of them.

	Meanwhile, I don't like that warning, nor the fact that at least 
some squid folders are still there; am I really back to scratch?? Do I 
need to go delete some folders??
