Can you give some examples of which errors your getting? What does it say when you try using nano? Which programs work and which ones don't, and what are the errors you're getting?

My first hunch says it's something to do with term types.. But problems with that are uncommon on a fresh build.. Did you do anything to change default shell settings? Do you have a strange graphics card? Can you remember what settings you used in make menuconfig?
