I deleted the "--quiet" parameter (wanted to know what was going on) and the "--vga=...." parameter also. It was the "vga-..." that was causing the trouble I think. >> First attempt was to install KDE, which did install, >> but it took up most of the disc, ... > > LXDE or XFCE should give you a GUI environment in less storage. Now running on LXDE, but I had to manually fiddle with wifi (/etc/interfaces) and with sound (alsa stuff). The purpose of this was to hook the EeePC up to the Hi Fi system so that I can listen to Internet radio - the Internet connection is wifi. All now in place. Once again, thanks to everybody who helped.
