Comments/Problems: I really liked the installer. Had a little trouble
getting my video resolution set to 1024x768. Came up as 800x600, and I had
to edit /etc/X11/XF86Config manually. Also, I have an nVidia card...
The install was slick and easy. My suggestion is to break the "Desktop Computer"
selection down into Gnome or KDE desktops.
