First, I now have a new keyboard, giving me control over how my desktop
boots.

Trying startx still gets me (Ugh!) Gnome 3. There's supposed to be a
command, startxfce that gets me what I want, but I don't have it and yum
can't find it. If I do a normal boot, it just hangs. If I turn off the
fancy boot screen, I see it fail several times to create
/var/run/kdm/kdm.pid. Checking in runlevel 3, the directory doesn't
exist. Creating it and rebooting doesn't work, because when I do, it's
gone.

Trying yum update doesn't work, because it still thinks I'm in F 14,
even though /etc/fedora-release is correct. Using --releasever=16 gets
me a huge number of complaints about duplicates and package-cleanup
--problems lists a number of things, without AFAICT suggesting what to
do about them. Haven't tried --dups as yet, but will ASAP.
