So, after running the migration assistant and copying all of my data, everything was fine except for X11.  Since I use X11 at work on a daily basis, it was very important for me to get this installed.  I decided that I would delete everything I could find from the old X11 stuff and install it new.  Then, I also grabbed the latest updates from Apple.  Reboot and NOTHING.

/etc/master.passwd:  No such file or directory

I’m exceptionally stupid for doing this. And, I didn’t bring the OS install disks to work, so I can’t even fix it.  The only bright side I see to this is that, while it is more of a hassle, I think it’s better to start out with a new installation and copy data than to use the Migration Assistant.  Also, this will be a good learning experience.  I’ll be able to tell all the other Mac users around here what NOT to do.
Still, killing the operating system in less than 24 hours is a new record for me.
