Larry,

I haven't installed 5.9.8.9 yet, but I'll add a couple of comments
between yours.

The reason this is happening is that the cups service isn't starting,
because /etc/rc.d/init.d does not have a cups file in it. A quick fix
would be to copy the cups filr from the /etc/rc.d/init.d/sample
directory. However, we do need to ensure that any package of cups that
we provide includes the /etc/rc.d/init.d/cups script, as the vasm
SRVSET script parses /etc/rc.d/init.d to see which services are
available to be set.

The fix here is to remove the xinitrc files for fluxbox and IceWM from
/etc/X11/xinit (I think that's where they're located)

That would need to be fixed in the doinst.sh script for the package.
