Hadn't tried it this way, but, as you can see, it's the same result. No one 
else is reporting problems that resemble mine, so I think my situation is 
unique. I've turned off Selinux at boot, just to eliminate that. I did see a 
totally unrelated reference to nvidia drivers causing issues that lead to 
that freetype error I described - maybe I'll uninstall the nvidia driver and 
see if that's the culprit for the freetype issue --
