Hi, Timo, and thanks for responding. Yes, gnome starts, although occasionally I get
debsums by itself found a LOT of good files, so I ran it with -s. The only mismatch it found was on
/usr/lib/openoffice/share/config/javasettingsunopkginstall.xml. That shouldn't be a problem. Rerunning with -a -s added a mismatch for /etc/console-tools/config But I don't think that should be a problem, either.Further testing indicates when I boot into the single user mode, ps works fine. Also, during normal boot I found an Illegal Instruction message for sysctl - which fails from a command line on normal boot also, but works in single user mode.
And as to the suggestions from other users to try another VM - that's not open for discussion unless you can tell my why the one that comes with Windows 7 doesn't work.
