@jcMactintosh - thyan has already done a clean install. I believe you are referring to an 'in-place upgrade repair install' which was suggested in posts #3,#6.
It seems the damage was too substantial to be able to do that- nothing would run properly.
@ Thyan: At this time we still haven't seen the result of checking the disk, ao recommend you do that early on.
Before installing a whole batch of programs, your priority should be your first disk image.
What I do is to keep a simple text record of changes: Create a base image, note that, make various changes, noting that, and at a suitable point or time create a differential image, note that, and continue..
Then if something goes wrong, it's relatively quick to restore an image, then redo the changes. Helps with diagnosing problems too.
