Thanks! Due to your help.
What I ended up doing is reloading the sources, on a whim.
After I did that, the BSD Subsystem to be installed suddenly went from
2.0 to 2.1, and then installed easily.

Now, looks like the only problems I have now are small annoying ones.
Like Term-vt100 won't install, the weDict add-on dictionaries don't
seem to be working, the Dock screenshot isn't saving the images, and
iPhysics add-ons don't seem to be adding.
The Customize package doesn't seem to be working, but I'm pretty sure
that's because I have SummerBoard installed; I'll try uninstalling
that and seeing if Customize will work.
Otherwise, this is blast! I have PockeyMoney working, Books, TextEdit,
and Finder. Those things alone make the iPhone my perfect PDA!
Anything else is just gravy. =)

Thanks for taking the time and effort to reply and offer advice! =)
