I downloaded the 3.4Gig DVD iso and ran the install process on that. Had the
same issue with the graphics not working but ran the same fix I had from last
time. The system still boots with some errors but it boots to the desktop (as
before). Also had the same issue with not being able to run sudo occurred so
again fixed that with a fix I found on google.

I can't seem to get my user account to run nautilus when I try to call it
with sudo - it just fails to fire up. Google has yet to reveal a good fix for
this. I do want to be able to have root privs to do file stuff from time to
time but ideally without to login as root to do it.

Tonight (it's coming up noon here Monday) I will try to install a fresh copy
of Mystic and start to figure out the best way to migrate Agency across to it.
I'm thinking it may be a bit of a PITA to do but changing some of dirs in the
BBS at the same time. Will ponder some more.
