Thanks for the reply. 

Reinstalling package 'base-files' seems to have restored normal operation. 

I found the install logs and can rerun the failed postinstall scripts.

One question: Can the installer be fed a list of packages to install,
or otherwise configured with a different default set of selections?
(Wasn't there once a 'cyginstall' package that could be customized?)
