Thanks- as I indicated in PM your suggestion immediately pointed to the
groff install.
re-running setup.exe, looking in /etc/postinstall for scripts that aren't
However, re-running setup isn't quite working because trying to
uninstall one particular
item causes it to bomb. This xorg-x11-fnts isn't quite right as I can't
uninstall it :
xorg-x11-fenc 6.8.99.901-1 OK
xorg-x11-fnts 6.8.1.0-3 OK
xorg-x11-fscl 6.8.99.901-1 OK
What is the safest way to manually ( not using setup ) uninstall this
and do a clean
reinstall or figure out what is causing setup to terminate?

I did an
almost clean, except for above thing, uninstall and reinstall of X and
it still doesn't run. Also, it appears if I download packages
first, and then try to reinstall from local directory that the packages
disappear during
the uninstall even if needed for the subsequent install ( lots of
missing file dialog boxes
and it didn't look like the reinstall actually happened).
Interesting. Well, I recommend just doing the install which will download
and install in one step. This way, you won't see whatever issue you have
been seeing.
