Thanks!  I was able to translate with Google and perform the needed
installations.  I built GDAL, then QGIS (without GRASS for now) and my
MrSID topos are loading just fine.  Very straightforward.

I'm very pleased with QGIS thus far.  I like how I can display all of
the Cascades topos in a single tiled view in the "overview" pane so it
is possible to navigate to anywhere in the mountains very easily.
