OK, I tried to re-install.  The packages puked after 9 (localdb).  Same
error, out of freelists.  Now everytime I boot, Linux thinks that I
haven't completed the install, loads YaST and makes me answer 20
questions to get out.  I don't mind that much, but my wife will go nuts.

In my experience with other systems (HP-UX, AIX), freelists are a kernal
resource setting.  Could there be a problem with the number of freelists
available?

Thanks,

Jim
