I'm trying to use the src/mapnik/osm2pgsql/osm2pgsql binary to import, and it's complaining about an unknown PostgreSQL/PostGIS function. (The mapnik/osm2pgsql.py script only worked after a few modifications, and doesn't seem to be the droid I'm looking for anyway.) Is it just me, or is PostGIS not even installed on this VM?

Dell and Logitech have been no help. Dell offered to "fix" my m1210 for $99. I noted your fix for the webcam here. After locating the xc64 driver that I downloaded, what do I do next?

Some screenshots of your settings that you're using. I had my 3102 setup for faktortel (after i changed all the ringer settings) and working sweet and didn't realise that I'd be complicating things by changing over to TPG...

(as per the instructions on http://weait.com/content/make-your-first-map) As it stands the image only comes with the world coastlines installed, not all of the OSM data. A good way to test is to do some rendering at zoom level 1-5 where the coastlines will give you outlines and detail without needing all of the underlying OSM data.
