Okay, the thing is, this is the second install attempt -- it happened 
both times.  So, from what you say above, it makes sense that I see the 
404 error the first time I go to the front page.  But from here, I can 
create posts, but they do not replace this front page.  They are listed 
in my dash board, and are archived, but I can't replace that "blank" 
front page (i.e, domain.tld/lyceum/1 or /lyceum/2 for a second blog)

So is there something I'm supposed to be doing to create a post for this 
front page?  Or do I try re-installing again?
