Too late Christopher - found
"package-cleanup --dupes" in the Fedora forums (and a suggestion
from another user on the regular list) - so I tried it - now the
19 partition is unbootable :) So
it sort of solved my problem. Package cleanup ran into a bunch of
what it said were zero-length files..dunno what it
did or didn't do with them..nothing I guess. But it appears some .
many or all were essential.
