Comments/Problems:
* The only problem was with graphical installation. I wanted to give it
a go but admit to not trying very hard to make it work. When
initializing the graphical display, one can just make out a message
about attempting to initialize the frame buffer, then a greyish screen
appears with a large mouse pointer (that for a split second can be
moved) and then the screen/machine freezes. I've tried this again
using booting with rescuegui with the same result.
That said, the text installer worked well and, I am very gratified to
say that this was the most error-free config-perfect linux installation
I've ever enjoyed. Great work to all involved!
Thanks
