The install aborted with a CD read error.  My CDs are for WBL 3.0.  This 
was CD #2.

I rebooted.  I cannot log into my userid, I get an error indicating 
something like:

.../home/.Xclients line 8 - Xclients-default: No such file or directory....

I can log in as root, and I get the Gnome GUI.  Of course, I don't know if 
everything got installed...

1) how to recover the install of Gnome?  (can I do this with yum?  and if 
so, this is still a base install, will it select the right server?) (do I 
build new CDs and start the install all over?)

2) If I can recover the install of Gnome, how do I fix my userid?
