Sadly, what proceeds to occur is a relative chain of packages that continually depend on /usr/share/locale/cs, all the way down to 'tar.' At which point I had lost most of my system functionality and was scp'ing binaries into /bin to keep it alive. A fruitless effort, but interesting none the less. ;) When I get home tonight I'll roll a new kernel and do more testing. How does the installer get around this problem? Since it too must start with a base system? (Maybe it's just my misunderstanding of the complete inner workings of hte installer). Cheers, Carlos.
