I'm sure that would resolve it. I've found a couple commands missing and 
installed them. Probably others missing I haven't tried yet.
I don't think chasing all the things missing from the install is the 
correct (easy) way to debug backend troubles.

The long version:
I originally installed from the alternate CD. Everything was fine but I 
saw the drive I chose to do the install on had 3 years uptime on it.
I put a fresh drive in and the install failed. (I've since concluded the 
CD was good once, since it installed, but it failed on other machines 
after that.)
Anyway, I installed the kernel from the CD then installed everything 
else from the repos.
Evidently, lots of stuff got left uninstalled...
