Sorry,
It gave no error at all, the screen went black and the system did nothing
(locked-up), like it could not find the bootsector, thus requiring it to need a
manual power-cycle.
The system is busy compling xorg-x11, kde-meta et. al.
When it finishes, I shall test Richard's theory and let you guys know
what I learn, paying attention to the various combinations of spaces
and no spaces.
Thanks for all the help (from everyone),
James
