Addendum: Its taken about 12 hours to clean up the mess enough to get x to run again and its not right yet. As campers go, color me unhappy. The whole of xfs got deleted for starters, its gone without a trace so I now have about 25 lines of FontPath "path to font" in my xorg.conf. The automatic yum -y update is also gone, forever. This is the third time its put me thru hell to restore my playtoy. Screw it.
