 no - i didn't!!

 it's a minimum install which i downloaded earlier.

 btw - when it says the files aren't there (fopen failed) it's because
 the files _aren't_ there!!

 should they be?

 should they have been created?

 maybe this is something as weird as fopen() with create flags being
 ignored...

 that's going to hammer my network for an hour: any suggestions on
 minimum package (singular!) which will get info into the logs?
