Hmmm.  At this point in the install, I don't have any lists.  No less confused 
here, but I guess I'll go ahead and continue with the additional steps in the 
hope that once I have a list to fix, I can fix it and thereby address this 
problem.  If that works, surely the sequence of steps in the install doc is 
borked.

Thanks for the help Mark!
