Are you sure that the //'s break it?
[juha@vimfuego juha]$ cd /var/spool
[juha@vimfuego spool]$ cd
[juha@vimfuego juha]$ cd //var/spool
[juha@vimfuego spool]$
[juha@vimfuego spool]$ cd
[juha@vimfuego juha]$ cd /var//spool
[juha@vimfuego spool]$
I can move between directories using / or //.
There might be another problem... silly question, perhaps, but have you got
enough room in /var?

%->
%-> I asked for help there, too... I've read the man pages, read the

%->
%-> Just because you've been having success with RPM doesn't mean that

%-> to the point I have to Microsoft and do a complete reinstall...
%->
%-> So, Mr. Guru, I await.... I haven't reinstalled the system (intend to
