Turned out the final reinstall was significantly larger than I
originally reported: 1.6 gig in 56k files (still a significant savings).
Turns out not everything was reinstalled. I had to go through setup and
choose some packages manually. There were problems with some symbolic
links. More than that I don't remember.
If you try it, save a copy of your original installation so you can back up.
Be prepared to do some troubleshooting.
