Well, shouldn't I maybe go in and delete the symlinks and then install the
packages?  It's only 4 or 5, btw.  I think that will be relatively easy
using MC, which I've gotten installed now that I can network the thing.
Given what you've said, I'm inclined to do it, even though it involves
undoing some of my "handiwork" - unless you see some danger in undoing the
symlinks or something.
