well i've done about 6 nice clean installs.  however the 'nice clean
install' leaves a craload of unecessary and / or insecure services
running.

i'm not just randomly renaming stuff; all the stuff i've renamed is
stuff that i'm pretty sure isn't needed.

obviously i've probably renamed one service that's needed somewhere....
since the exact same thing has happened to me with each install.  next
time i will definitely try to make fewer changes at once and reboot more
frequently.  on such a slow machine it's really time consuming to do
this all the time, though (and really frustrating when it breaks each
time).
