I am supprised it lasted as long as it did.  I got switched from it to 
IBM in '86, shortly after the painful conversion to GECOS 6 (my cuz was 
one of the GECOS 6 architects and having an inside connection sure 
helped with the conversion).

I will probably be doing a rebuild again tomorrow, and this time I am 
going to try it with just the name with the spaces and see if it works.

I rsynced the F12 everything tree, only 16Gb and took 22 hours, but no 
more missing dependencies from the Amahi stuff...  Though I have some 
thoughts about how to point to the everything repo as an additional repo 
and that might work too.  Though how do you specify priority of the 
repos for search?
