Hi and thanks for the reply. Well for a start, and to answer your comment, I know Error output helps... and in fact it would, if I was getting any error output... ;-)
That said, I tried your suggestion, the output in the term window seemed to show the db was being rebuild... but after a reboot, same thing again... No way to see what are the RPMs I installed at start... It's frustrating and seems I will have to reinstall again...........
