Please don't apologise and do point out anything you think could be
useful! I am a complete newbie to the whole Linux world - been trying to
get this install working afterhours for over a week now.
To answer your question, there is a lengthy boot process after selecting
the OS. It seems to be doing what it's supposed to (apart from a couple
of warnings).
What's more, other things I emerged while working chrooted from the
install CD are available & working (e.g. dhcpcd).
Is there anything (config file, directory listing, ???) I could post
here to help the troubleshooting?
