Mark,
Still not able to get it started.
After typing ./installgnome-2.22.2 the errors were:
/usr/sbin/avahi-daemon: error while loading shared libraries: libdbus-1.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Starting Avahi mDNS/DNS-SD Daemon: /usr/sbin/avahi-daemon -D
/usr/sbin/avahi-daemon: error while loading shared libraries: libdbus-1.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Starting Avahi mDNS/DNS-SD DNS Server Configuration Daemon: /usr/sbin/avahi-dnsconfd -D
Hitting ctrl-alt-del and typing xwin gnome-session resulted only in a failure to start x. When I tried to start an error log it put me in a terminal and the only way out was a reboot which destroyed the tmp error log.
The following is my bootsysinit.log and xerrs.log, if that helps:

Thank you for taking the time to help such an obvious newcomer to linux.
