Finally ran the net installer in rescue mode, copied my 122gb /home dir, on a 1.9T raid10 to a different drive and reinstalled, then copied it back, but kmail refuses to use the copied back data so I'm using FF to post this.

Hi Gene 


Check permissions on spools etc - how did you copy your data out?
A tar ball preserving permissions is also quite useful for this.
Goodness, what do you keep to make your /home directory 122G?

> I also need to get totally, absolutely rid of brltty, its driving me berzerk with its incessant muttering in a voice as bandwidth limited, or worse, than a cell phone. Understandable maybe 5% of the time. I purposely did NOT even visit those pieces of the installer for fear it would be enabled, because even though killed by removing brltty in the previous install, 90% of the syslog was errors because it couldn't use brltty. But I got it anyway.  So how do it get rid of it without it tearing down the system with its copius error screaming?

Just a thought: apt rdepends brltty reveals a small number of things
that depend on it. Use apt-get / aptitude or whatever to remove these in
order.

I don't know _why_ you keep getting brltty installed - disconnect any
serial leads from this machine as a start. If you can't get brltty 
removed as above - copy your home directory off again and do a reinstall
with the minimum connected to your machine.

[The serial idea is because I seem to recall that if brltty finds a serial
connection active at install, it may assume there's a brltty installed.

In something of 150 or more installs of bullseye - we do a bunch with
each release of images with a point release - I don't think I've ever
seen brltty installed "by accident" so I'd love to know exactly what you
do do each time.

All the very best, as ever,

Andy Cater
