Speaking of bizarre things, all the other distros are activating the
lm_sensors module by default. The IBM laptop owners who try to check battery
power are in for a factory-return-for-new-motherboard level surprise.
You will not find the lm_sensors loaded or activated by default on this
distro.
The bugfix for PS/2 keyboard without PS/2 mouse freezing the install was
responsible for breaking this one. Since IBM has less than 5% market share
on laptops, we don't have one readily available for testing.
However, I did test an install and it worked fine, using
F1 at the splash screen....
Then typing "text expert" without the quotes
Then proceeding with text install...
